On October 23, 2020, the Utility entered into an office lease agreement with BA2 300 Lakeside LLC for approximately 910,000 rentable square feet of space within the building located at 300 Lakeside Drive, Oakland, California, 94612 (“Lakeside Building”) to serve as the Utility’s principal administrative headquarters.

The Utility currently owns approximately 158,000 acres of land, including approximately 128,000 acres of watershed lands. In 2002, the Utility agreed to implement its LCC to permanently preserve the six “beneficial public values” on all the watershed lands through conservation easements or equivalent protections, as well as to make approximately 40,000 acres of the watershed lands available for donation to qualified organizations. The six “beneficial public values” being preserved by the LCC include: natural habitat of fish, wildlife, and plants; open space; outdoor recreation by the general public; sustainable forestry; agricultural uses; and historic values. The Utility’s goal is to implement all the transactions needed to implement the LCC by the end of 2022, subject to securing all required regulatory approvals.
