About the project
In December 2016, the City of Seaside entered into a Purchase and Sale agreement with the KB Bakewell Development Partnership to develop ~85 net acres on the former Fort Ord Army Base. This development is directly south of the California State University – Monterey Bay campus, and will be designed to provide arts, entertainment, retail, recreation and housing opportunities to students, faculty and to the region at large.
With this project, the city desires to:
Create a strong “sense of place” and community identity that integrates well with the adjacent University;
Increase the availability of arts and entertainment destinations, work opportunities, entrepreneurial opportunities, housing opportunities and visitor opportunities available to students and faculty at the University and to the region as a whole;
Provide quality housing for those working at the university and those working throughout the region in such a way that transit, bicycling, ride-sharing and other transportation options are viable for the residents of this development;
Provide new employment and mixed-use opportunities for the region;
Attract visitors, regional shoppers and high quality employment opportunities to strengthen the City’s tax base.
