Fremont Central Business District Concept Plan

City of Fremont

DC&E worked with a team of subconsultants to prepare a downtown Concept Plan for Fremont, the Bay Area's fourth largest city. Incorporated in 1950 and developed largely on a suburban model, Fremont has a low density Central Business District (CBD) that lacks many of the amenities associated with a downtown. DC&E developed a concept plan to turn Fremont's CBD into a true downtown, with a mixture of offices, shops, housing and other uses. Since the completion of the Central Business District Concept Plan, the City of Fremont has implemented several housing projects in the vicinity of downtown Fremont's BART station, many of which will contain a ground floor retail component.
