Jones Lang LaSalle, based out of Chicago, and L.A.'s Creative Housing Associates will be developing the project. Groundbreaking is expected in 2003. BART owns seven acres of the proposed 10-acre development, much of it the existing MacArthur BART parking lot. Plans for the new MacArthur Station development are slated to include a parking structure with 1,500 spaces.

The proposed development is bounded by 40th Street and MacArthur Boulevard to the north and south, Telegraph Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to the east and west. Community groups have high hopes for the new development and its potential impact on the neighborhood. Lynne Horiuchi, representing the West MacArthur Neighborhood Council called the project "an excellent plan. People in the community are very pleased."
