Mayor And City Leaders To Discuss Visions of Growth

OAKLAND, CA-Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown, City Manager Robert Bobb and the port's director of real estate Omar Benjamin are some of the speakers discussing growth issues at a breakfast forum on Dec. 7 at the Oakland Marriott City Center.

OAKLAND, CA-The East Bay has emerged in recent years as an alternative for businesses seeking a reprieve from high rents in San Francisco and Silicon Valley. As a result, there are currently 50 projects underway in the city that will change Oakland’s skyline, corporate make-up and demographic profile over the next several years – and it’s time to talk about it.

Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown will be among a group of civic and business leaders speaking on the issue tomorrow morning at the Oakland Marriott City Center, in front of a sell-out crowd of more than 600. Other scheduled speakers are City Manager Robert Bobb, the port’s director of real estate Omar Benjamin, Holliday Development Corp. president Rick Holliday and John Grassi, managing director and chief investment officer at the Shorenstein Co.
