Well, there is no Bay Meadows real estate yet. They’ve winterized the area – and thank goodness because this winter has already been wicked.
Then comes the infrastructure: grading, site preparation, roadway, sidewalks, trees and lights. That’s going to go on throughout this year.
What About Bay Meadows Houses?
Well…that’ll be determined by the developer. Construction is expected to begin 2011
Development General Info
The Bay Meadows project is a redevelopment of the 83.5-acre main track area of the Bay Meadows horse race track facility located just south of Highway 92 off and west of Highway 101.
Plan Approval Phase I
In 1997, the Bay Meadows Specific Plan was approved which allowed redevelopment of the barn and practice track area (commonly referred to as “Phase I”) with office, residential, and retail uses. This project has been fully built with the exception of three office buildings.
Plan Approval Phase II
In 2005, the Bay Meadows Specific Plan Amendment was approved for redevelopment of the main track area (commonly referred to as “Phase II”). The Specific Plan Amendment provides the framework for a transit oriented development (TOD) that provides compact high density office, retail, and residential development within a short walking distance of the existing Hillsdale CalTrain station.
The development will include approximately 800,000 square feet of office space, 1,066 residential units and 100,000 square feet of retail space. Construction of new buildings will likely not begin until at least 2011.

Because of this extremely competitive employment environment, it has never been more important for job hunters to be at the top of their game. That means updating resumes, learning the secrets of a good interview, and understanding social networking and other on-line tools to get in front of those who might be hiring. To help local men and women get a leg up on the competition in 2010, Jackie Speier is hosting a “Job Hunters Boot Camp” on Thursday, January 28 at the San Mateo County Event Center.
Some of our area’s most knowledgeable career counselors, CEOs and other professionals are generously donating their time and knowledge to help residents of the 12th Congressional District and San Mateo County. In addition, stations will be set up to provide one-on-one consultations on how to craft a better resume and improve interviewing skills. Jackie will be there to give an update on what Congress is doing to create more jobs.
This event is for residents of the 12th Congressional District and San Mateo County. Space is limited, so reserve a spot by calling 650-342-0300.
