Advancing California's Emerging Technologies (ACET) may team up with Catellus Development to create ACET's new home on 3.3 acres of the 213-acre former U.S. Naval Air Station Fleet Industrial Center. Originally a bioscience incubator, ACET has expanded its focus to include technology and energy applications. Currently operating from 8,800 sf of smaller Alameda Naval Air station labs, the ACET is seeking a $64-million grant to cover land, design and building costs for the new facility. The project would be the first in the former fleet industrial supply center, which will be developed to include 1.3 million sf of office, R&D, and Class A office space. 584 residential units will also be constructed. The site was turned over in 1997 to the city of Alameda, which selected Catellus as developer. Demolition of the first phases of residential and commercial space is scheduled to begin this summer. Pending grant approval, construction could begin on the ACET facility by early December.
