PLACEMADE

PlaceMade is the Bay Area's first non-profit industrial real estate development corporation. PlaceMade was launched in 2013 by, and is the sister non-profit to, SFMade, the San Francisco Bay Area's non-profit manufacturing support organization. PlaceMade collaborates with both the private and public sector to ensure that the Bay Area has adequate, quality industrial space to support a vibrant and growing manufacturing sector. In addition, our partnership with SFMade affords access to the regional manufacturing community, providing a unique viewpoint on industrial development... Working with the City of San Francisco, we created a new land-use zoning designation called "Inclusionary PDR", re-activating, a large, under-utilized PDR-zoned lot: now known as the Hooper Campus... Focusing on West Berkeley, we are consulting with the City of Berkeley on protecting their industrial zone and reviewing the potential for growth.
