 Picture
this . . . A city with its own electric company.
Through its municipal electric and telecommunications
systems, the City of Alameda adds value to your company and
to your quality of life. Alameda, known as Silicon Island,
is home to over 150 high-tech companies, including Wind River
Systems and UTStarcom. A growing list of biotech and multimedia
firms are also located in Alameda, including Avigen, Celera
Diagnostics, TheraSense, ESC Entertainment and Audio Visual
Technical Services. Alameda Power & Telecom, a department
of the City, provides businesses a clear operating edge with
stable, low energy rates and a high-speed, high-capacity fiber
optic communications network. The City also offers fully entitled
business parks and available sites to serve our business clients.

Alameda's local labor market provides great
advantages. Access to qualified candidates is equal to Silicon
Valley, and high-tech companies are organized to take advantage
of it. Employers find that Alameda's small-town quality of
life, exceptional public school system, affordable residential
real estate inventory and geographic location in the middle
of the metropolitan Bay Area are tremendous recruiting and
employee retention advantages. At Alameda Point, a former
Navy Base, over 800 acres of prime real estate are available
for major development. The City has selected a master developer
to guide a $2 billion mixed-use development of the main portion
of the base. The City has also executed leases and adaptively
reused approximately 60 buildings, covering 2.7 million square
feet of commercial space with current employment upwards of
2,000 employees including firms in the software, aerospace,
multimedia, recreational sports, and convention center industries.
Over 1.3 million square feet is still available for light
and medium industrial uses.
Alameda business parks—Marina Village and
Habor Bay—offer over 150 acres fully entitled and ready-for-business
development at prices substantially below San Jose, San Francisco,
and other locales. In addition, the City-approved Catellus
Development Corporation project will bring online over 1.3
million square feet of new R & D, office and flex-tech
space in a 200 acre mixed-use, waterfront development project.
Alameda is unsurpassed for its beauty, recreation and neighborhood
charm. Boating, golf, beaches, tennis clubs, panoramic bay
views and tree-lined streets with Victorian homes provide
the backdrop for full living-for you and your employees. No
commute is necessary.
