California County Looking for Tenants for Eco-Industrial Park

The Alameda County Waste Management Authority and Recycling Board is looking for tenants for an Eco-Industrial Park. The agency is working in conjunction with a master developer, as well as the city of San Leandro.

The Eco-Industrial Park proposed for this property is an industrial park housing manufacturers and processors who use recycled materials, such as paper, glass, and wood generated and purchased locally, to produce new products.

Other manufacturers of environmentally preferable products will be considered if they offer opportunities for byproduct synergies with other tenants.

The location has access to various transportation corridors, including the Port of Oakland. It also includes rail access to the property. Some funding is available to assist tenant businesses that locate in the Park.

Up to $3 million in infrastructure improvement funding available to support the development; and Access to Authority Revolving Loan Fund for resource recovery-related businesses; Redevelopment Area participation; and Intensive media attention and public recognition expected for positive environmental and economic performance.

The Authority has a limited amount of time to identify appropriate tenants for this unique project. We are interested in communicating with companies with the following characteristics:

Engaged in environmentally sound manufacturing/product development, preferably utilizing recovered materials.

Capable of moving or expanding the business while maintaining financial viability.

Interested in leasing or owning own building (build-to-suit opportunity available) and can pay lease rates of approximately 60-75/square foot per month.

Willing to participate in a collaborative project of national significance and expected to attract positive recognition and media attention.
