Jack London Project

Jack London Square has been changing. In December 2001 the Port of Oakland sold four of the buildings in the square to Jack London Square Partners (Ellis Partners and James Falaschi) at a price of $17.2 million. The transaction included 66 year leases for the land on which the four buildings sit and the right to develop a nearby waterfront complex of offices, restaurants and shops. 

The Plan

The plans include enhancement of the Green adjacent to the current Ferry stop on Clay Street(the West Green), removal of parking along that shore, and installation of a cafe/restaurant with viewing areas of the Estuary. The JLS Partners are proposing to remove the fascia from 66 Franklin Street (the old Tribune offices) and restore the historic underpinnings of the building. The Jack London Cabin and Heinhold's remain - there is discussion about creating a historic theme area around these two structures. The major addition is a Harvest Hall at 145,000 square feet. This would be located behind Heinhold's and then extend down towards the Estuary. There would be an addition of an East Green in front of the Harvest Hall, and also an addition of a Celebration Plaza in the Webster corridor south of Embarcadero.
