A City of Oakland real estate official told city councilmembers this week that a company providing major assistance to the Port of Oakland could face eviction proceedings in court as early as next week if negotiations for the company to leave the old Oakland Army Base property are not concluded by then.
Pacific Coast Container Logistics is one of four companies that must vacate the city’s portion of the East Gateway section of the old Army Base by May 31 to make way for the beginning of construction of new development. Oakland stands to lose $174 million in federal funds for the development project if it does not clear the companies out to make way for the first phase of construction beginning later this year.
