As you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve probably heard, this is not the best economic climate for commercial real estate development. Even in the Bay Area city of Emeryville, one of the friendliest places around for developers, the pace of building has slowed.<\/p>\n

A second phase of the prominent Bay Street shopping center has been in the works for years. Current plans<\/a> call for a department store and a parking garage\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 but right now, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just an empty lot.<\/p>\n

While that project has been standing still, the city around it has been changing. The population of Emeryville has nearly doubled in the past decade. And some residents are starting to speak out. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re hoping the new mall, called Site B, won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be just more of the same. KALW\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Zoe Corneli reports from Emeryville.<\/p>\n
