BART is hosting a pair of community Open House events at Fremont Station to encourage riders and community members to share ideas for potential transit-oriented development (TOD) on a portion of the station’s surface parking lots.
The open houses will be held on Thursday, September 25, from 4:30pm to 6:30pm and Wednesday, October 8, from 7:30am to 9:30am on the eastern side of Fremont Station in the covered, unpaid concourse area by the bus shelters. BART is hosting the open houses to receive feedback from riders and community members on their priority objectives for the potential TOD. The final goals and objectives for the development will be presented to BART’s Board of Directors for approval and included in the developer solicitation.
What is planned for Fremont Station? BART will pursue development in two phases. The first phase will consist of developing about 8 acres on the east side of the station near Mowry Avenue, which is currently being used for BART parking. The goal is to solicit developer interest in spring 2026, analyze their responses through a competitive process, and obtain approval of the selected developer from BART’s Board of Directors about six months later. Once complete, the selected developer, BART, and the City of Fremont will engage with BART riders, community members, and other stakeholders throughout the TOD design and permitting process.
What if I can’t attend these open houses? You can review the Open House boards and provide your thoughts in the online survey through October 15. You may also sign up for the project email list to keep informed of future engagement opportunities
