Vision

Two decades in the making, Brooklyn Basin reconnects Oakland with its historic waterfront to introduce the thriving new neighborhood—complete with open-air parks, vibrant residential communities, and local shops and eateries. Situated on 65 acres of formerly inaccessible industrial land, the new community hub is an inspiring place to live, play, and shop—framed by the panoramic views from San Francisco to the East Bay hills.
“Brooklyn Basin is the culmination of years of planning and community input and will revitalize this part of Oakland’s historic waterfront.”
