CALCOT PLACE Oakland, CA The vision of a Green Work Place (GWP) is a team effort by o2 Architecture and land owner East Bay Lofts LLC, Bob Winet, Managing Member. Our vision is to build a new mixed use; LEED certified green work place, comprised of three uses on three stories, Light Manufacturing on the ground floor, Class A Office space on the second floor and Self Storage on the third floor. This vision comes from the necessity that a green economic future in USA requires a new business/building model. Our first challenge was to take the existing largely vacant infill site, located between the Interstate 880 (Nimitz) Freeway, and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks, and revitalize it. The building site is also adjacent to an Oakland Historical Landmark, The California Cotton Mills factory building (1883 & 19170.
