Just when you think San Francisco is too landlocked for new innovative construction, you should think again.
According to a December 7, 2022 press release, “Today, the Board of Supervisors approved a housing ordinance introduced by Mayor London N. Breed to make it easier to build more housing to replace gas stations, parking lots, and other auto-oriented lots. The “Cars to Casas” ordinance was supported by housing and environmental activists, including YIMBY Action, the San Francisco Housing Action Coalition, and Brightline Defense.”
What a great idea.
Very nice too. They are in agreement with environmental activists.
There is another innovative project coming to life in the greater San Francisco Bay area.
With wonderful Bay Area views.
In Alameda to be exact.
Let’s get the inside scoop from the leaders. At altastarharbor.com they share, “Redevelopment of Star Harbor began in 2001 and the plans for Alta Star Harbor were approved by the Alameda City Town Council in 2014. The historic brick can be seen from the exterior and select interiors still today.”
There is a significant history to the region.
They add, dating back to 1883, multiple independent fishing operators merged to create the largest salmon packing company in the world, the Alaska Packers Association, headquartered in San Francisco. By 1907, the group had expanded to over 300 employees over 25 acres, to include the man-made Alaska Basin.
That was then, look at what is going on now.

ALAMEDA, Calif., Dec. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading multifamily real estate developer Wood Partners announced today the official grand opening of its most recent luxury residential community, Alta Star Harbor, in Alameda built with Principal Real Estate.
This waterfront community, located at 1518 Clement Avenue, is a combination of new construction and the adaptive reuse of a 100-year-old Del Monte warehouse with all residences located within the six-acre historic brick façade. Elements of the former warehouse are featured throughout the site with select units having preserved original timber roofs, brick walls, and concrete floors combined with modern luxury apartment amenities. Residents of Alta Star Harbor will be able to soak up the stunning harbor and city views directly from the community, as well as enjoy a wide range of shopping, dining and entertainment options nearby on the lively Park Street and Webster Street corridors. Alta Star Harbor's prime location also provides residents convenient access to both downtown San Francisco and Oakland just across the water via ferry and other convenient transportation options.
"We are thrilled to officially open Alta Star Harbor," said Julia Wilk, Managing Director for Wood Partners. "It's a rare opportunity to transform a six-acre brick and timber warehouse from the 1920s into a high-end mixed-use community. The preserved historical features add so much character and the waterfront location in Alameda, a unique island community with a quiet residential feel, yet easy access to the major employment centers of the San Francisco Bay Area, make this project really special."
Designed by BAR Architects, Alta Star Harbor offers 372 apartment homes consisting of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans, offering waterfront and garden views throughout the community. Residents can choose from traditional apartment-style homes, townhome options, as well as work/live units to best fit their preferred style. Each home features open floor plans and luxury finishes, including stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, hard surface flooring, in-home full-size washer and dryer sets and temperature control, as well as historic brick walls and timber roofs in select residences.
Throughout Alta Star Harbor, residents will have access to best-in-class community amenities including paseos with landscaped gardens, rooftop sundecks with captivating waterfront and city views, and retailers on site, just steps from their door. The community offers even more for residents to take advantage of including a Fitness Center and Yoga Studio, Wi-Fi lounge with workspace booths, a Clubroom for resident events complete with a community kitchen, and a complimentary coffee bar.
Alta Star Harbor is a Fitwel® certified community, which highlights a commitment to sustainability, building efficiency and resident well-being through healthy building design and operation. Residents of Alta Star Harbor will have direct access to bike paths, nearby public parks, local marinas, outdoor playgrounds, and community gardens, as well as the Cross Alameda bike and walking trail to enjoy just outside the community.
Alta Star Harbor is managed by Wood Residential. Visit https://www.altastarharbor.com/ for more information.
