Alameda Marina Village

Alameda Marina Village redevelops an obsolete naval

shipyard into a vibrant water-oriented community

with interconnec t ing lagoons, shorel ine and

neighborhood parks, marina facilities, residences,

and mixed-use buildings along the Alameda estuary

of San Francisco Bay. The project recycles historic

structures for commercial and office uses. A mile-long

linear shoreline park and extensive pedestrian and

bicycle routes provide connections to parks, marina,

restaurants, and shopping, while a system of lush

lagoons buffers private homes from public areas and

extends the estuary’s character into the site.

SWA provided master planning for the overall

project and site planning and landscape architectural

services for the entry, roads, marina, rec center,

shoreline park, the residential neighborhoods and

some office buildings.

The firm worked closely with the City of Alameda and

the Bay Conservation and Development Commission

(BCDC) to balance the privacy needs of residents with

requirements for public shoreline access and views.
