One of two prospective developers who already have thrown their hats into the ring is Ross Hillesheim, a Contra Costa County planning commissioner who argues that Brookfield’s plans didn’t work out because its target of 360 residences was far too low. The North Concord/Martinez BART station is the least-used BART station, according to data. “We want to attract people to maybe have a working or recreational opportunity out in Concord.” CONCORD, CALIFORNIA – JANUARY 28: Israel Cruz boards a train at the North Concord/Martinez BART station in Concord, Calif., on Friday, Jan. “We don’t want people to just go back and forth from San Francisco,” Basuino said. Joe Basuino, a manager of real estate and property at BART, said one goal for the North Concord development is to establish a “reverse commute” that actively brings people to the Contra Costa County city. And before the agency’s staff begins evaluating each proposal, BART expects the developer to put up a $25,000 deposit to cover staff time. There’s a catch: whatever is pitched must be a fresh idea, not a rehash of Brookfield’s tried-and-failed endeavor. Instead, they’re hearing out unsolicited proposals from interested parties, part of an agency policy to encourage new projects. Now, BART officials are again meeting with candidates who believe they can pencil in profits from the housing while still building affordable units and hiring local labor - elements that have plagued a number of East Bay developments, including a massive undertaking of 13,000 homes at the nearby Concord Naval Weapons Station.Īnd this time the agency’s staff didn’t have to go out looking for a new developer. But the previous developer, multi-national real estate arm Brookfield Residential, ditched the project earlier this year with no explanation.
