Dublin Update - More Development on the Way
Dublin is poised for continued explosive growth, according to Chris Foss, Dublin's Economic Development Director. Dublin has experienced rapid growth for most of this decade, and there are more exciting things on the horizon. Here are some of the projects in the works:
- A new West Dublin/West Pleasanton BART station is planned. It will encompass both sides of I-580, similar to the existing Pleasanton/Dublin station. It will be located South of Dublin Blvd and East of Outback Steakhouse. It will also feature residential and hotel development. The Pleasanton side will be adjacent to Stoneridge Mall. Construction is slated to begin this fall, and be completed in 2009.
- The Elephant Bar, a popular restaurant in Concord and San Jose, will be opening at the old El Torito restaurant site on Amador Plaza Rd near Expo.
- The old Pak 'N Save shopping center has been torn down, and will be a new mixed use residential and retail development called Tralee Village. It will have 103 townhomes, 130 condominiums, and over 35,000 sq ft of retail space
- The old Albertson's supermarket site at the corner of San Ramon Road and Alcosta Blvd will be the site of 56 new townhomes by Braddock & Logan, along with a remodel of the existing retail stores
- The existing BART station in East Dublin will see 4 new residential projects adjacent to the station. There will be one low income project, with 3 high density condo projects slated for construction, up to 10 stories high.
- The Palo Alto Medical Group/Sutter Health will be opening a 55,000 sq ft medial facility at the corner of Tassajara Rd and Dublin Blvd.
- Kaiser has purchased 58 acres of land East of Tassajara Rd and South of Dublin Blvd for a future hospital/medical clinic
- Lowe's home improvement is planning a store East of Tassajara Rd and South of Dublin Blvd.
- In West Dublin along I-580, they are currently grading for the opening of Schaefer Ranch, a large development by Discovery Homes. It will ultimately have 302 single family homes, a 10 acre sports park, a 5 1/2 acre commercial site, fire station, and 350 acres of permanent open space. The homes will begin construction in 2007
In all, there are over 10,000 residential units planned for Dublin in the next few years, with a majority being planned for East Dublin off Falon Road, as well as the Dublin BART stations. The city of Dublin predicts that the intersection of Dublin Blvd and Dougherty Road will ultimately handle 80,000 cars per day. They are in the process of improving this intersection now, and it will be under construction for some time (it might be best to avoid this intersection for a while).
