JLS has completed the refurbishment of 66 Franklin, which I’m told is 100% full in the office space from the 2nd floor and up. There is a deal in the works with Miette for a major portion or all of the ground floor, but I do not believe that it has been finalized just yet. Here’s a link to a story on that:

JLS has also completed Site C, which is the new 2-story building in front of the ferry terminal. They have leased all of the 2nd floor office space, but have not yet lined up tenant(s) for the ground floor retail/restaurant space.

Work on the Bay Trail has been done in some areas, and is in progress in other areas.

If you haven’t been to the Square recently, you’ll be shocked to see the behemoth of the Jack London Market. (prev known as Harvest Hall and also known as Site F1) At the moment I’m brain dead, so don’t quote me, but I think there are four or five floors of office space and one or two floors of retail space. I do not believe they have any signed deals just yet, but I am told that they do have people that are interested. If you look at their website, there’s a rendering of the market on the bottom right: http://jacklondonsquare.com/ There is also a link on their site to contact them if you are interested in leasing.

Also started is the parking garage on the Amtrak parking lot, known as Site G. The parking garage, JLS Market, and new pedestrian bridge are both tentatively scheduled to complete at the same time in early 2009. The garage will have 1086 parking spaces and will have 30K square feet of retail space on the ground floor (hopefully a grocery store).

Not started within the JLS Redevelopment plan are:

Site D, originally touted as an art house movie theatre, but now likely to be office space. This building is part of the minimum project (it has to be started by 2010) and is currently planned to be 7 stories with a max height of 140 feet.

Site F2, currently a parking lot, will be office space & parking adjacent to JLS Market on Embarcadero. Max height is 125 feet.

Site F3, where trees are now on Alice at the waterfront. This is the hotel site. 13 stories and 175 feet high.

Pavillion, 15K sq feet of retail space to go in front of Barnes & Noble (facing Karibu, Murasaki, & Edible Arrangements) – single story.

Simon hasn’t updated the JLDA site in a few months, but here is info on current projects in the Jack London District: http://jlda.org/development/

it looks like they will build the absolute minimum number of buildings they are contracted to (two to start the rest I think they have a decade to finish) and have no published plan on how they will fill the hall with anything related to food. I fear they will just complete it and turn it into office space and then sell the whole thing to someone else.

I’ll hope for the best, but it certainly doesn’t look like they are really going to try and make something unique.
