The Oakland Waterfront Warehouse District is a historic resource that tells the history of Oakland's waterfront. Fourth Street East serves as a gateway to the district with a map made of aluminum grocery cans. The site was once a S&W Fine Foods warehouse, making the cans a historically appropriate tool to tell the story of many former uses of buildings around the district.

Integrated with the refined industrial materials palette are unique custom works reflecting the people, nature, and vision of Oakland's past, present and future.

Local artist's murals reflect themes of transportation and food production history of the neighborhood. The project tells the story of the past and supports artists who are a defining part of Oakland's story today. Artist David Polka's mural reflecting the interconnection of food production, goods movement, and the natural environment adorns the leasing office's industrial brick wall.

The San Francisco Bay is famous for its tricky navigation and historic shipping navigation maps for access to the Oakland port terminals of Jack London were used as wallpaper in this refined resident lounge.

Oakland-based artist John Felix developed a piece using salvaged materials and themes of nature and connection to enhance a stairwell that also includes a trough of legos and a building platform inviting guests to create interactive artwork themselves.

Historically, rail tracks rain in the sidewalk to facilitate loading canned foods from the prior warehouse onto train cars. In redevelopment, the rail track was retained in the sidewalk and incorporated into a sculptural pattern defining planter areas.
