For generations, West Oakland has been harnessing art, music, politics, and culture together, a bastion of attitude, experience, and excitement.
Mandela Station, at West Oakland BART, is an active and engaging resource of talent, centralizing Oakland’s commitment to communal interaction and growth inviting all Bay Area residents to participate in the heightened feeling of connectedness, movement, and life. The result is a tightly woven network of educational scholars from USCF to UCB, harnessing the site’s innate centrality and position at the most connected BART station within the entire system.

Project History
On December 2014, the BART Board of Directors, selected CHEC to develop the proposed mixed-use project that is tasked with applying a strong urban design that compliments the surrounding land uses and creates a sense of activity at the street level.
We have incorporated community input to ensure that this development reflects and celebrates the rich history and culture of West Oakland. This is an opportunity for a continued renewal and recovery of West Oakland from the devastating effects of placing highways and a large postal facility in the 1950's and 1960's to the massive Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.
Today, West Oakland is undergoing significant revitalization and a development at the West Oakland BART (Mandela) Station location will further attract residents, workers, and visitors.
SUDA has engaged in developing in long-ignored neighborhoods that have substantial, but untapped upside potential.
