Bickerdike Redevelopment Corporation

Commercial & asset management - the commercial & asset program is involved with providing a variety of services to the community. We have several commercial spaces which are all leased to operators who provide a wide range of needed services to local residents. One of our commercial spaces is leased for the operation of a fresh market and grocery store that provides easy access for community residents to fresh, healthy foods at reasonable prices, as well as providing jobs to the neighborhood residents through a local employment agreement. Our space known as the california parking lot is leased to a erie family health center that services the local community, providing low cost parking for its employees in an area where parking is scarce. Through our la estancia commercial spaces, we rent space to a day care center serving local families with day care and after school programming; lease space to a local not for profit for the operation of a diabetes prevention program; as well as space for auxiliary classrooms for an alternative high school and through our zapata commercial space we lease space to a non-profit provider of employment and social services. Our asset management activities include oversight and activity related to our interest in the above assets, as well as our quality affordable housing which provides 2,060 units of badly needed affordable housing in our community.
