Port-Wide Sewer System Management Plan(SSMP) - Port of Oakland

• Commercial/Real Estate Division. The Commercial/Real Estate Division owns and
manages roughly 900 acres of developable land located west of Embarcadero and
south of the Port of Oakland office building. The centerpiece of the Commercial/Real
Estate Division is Jack London Square, although other development areas are owned
by the Port. Jack London Square consists of several waterfront bars/restaurants,
hotels, and other retail establishments. These buildings are leased out by the Port to
individual tenants, who are responsible for building and facility maintenance through
their lease agreements with the Port.
In addition to the three revenue divisions, the Port also operates several administrative or
support divisions (e.g., Engineering, Finance, Environmental Programs and Planning, etc.).
