Project Overview:
Thomas L. Berkley Square (TLBS)

The overall TLBS project is a 242,000 square foot mixed-use development spreading over 1.56 acres of land in a downtown Oakland Redevelopment area.  The distinctive economics of this project have allowed SUDA to broaden the development scope into two phases.

SUDA began the assembly and development of the TLBS site in November 1999 with seed capital provided, in part, by Bank of America’s Community Development Corporation (BACDC).  In March 2000 SUDA purchased a key portion of the project from Mr. Thomas L. Berkley, Esq., a person of local historical significance and for whom the project is named.
 

In 2001 SUDA purchased the historic Hotel Royal and over the next two years completed the assembly of three additional parcels.  In 2004 SUDA retired all of the BACDC debt.

Construction is complete on Phase I of the Thomas L. Berkley Square Project, the new home of the Alameda County Social Services Agency and the North County Center for Self-Sufficiency Corporation.

The 4-story multi-use office building was financed by a $52.2 million bond measure and is the newest addition to the Uptown Oakland development district.

The design/build construction contract for Phase I was a guaranteed maximum price contract with Hensel Phelps Construction Company (HPCC), a nationally known company with experience in the area.  The HPCC contract included all design, site work, building core and shell, and tenant improvements for the County lease, as detailed in construction documents developed jointly by SUDA and HPCC.

More than 100 thousand square feet of office space and public areas, this facility is part of an overall strategic capital improvement program launched by the County of Alameda to improve facilities County wide.
