On January 22, 2026, the BART Board approved the Goals and Objectives for the future development at Fremont Station. The Goals and Objectives will be included in a forthcoming developer solicitation for TOD Phase 1, an 8-acre site on the northeast side of the Fremont Station (shown in the image below in yellow).  

Consistent with the City of Fremont’s City Center Community Plan, TOD Phase 1 is envisioned as a predominantly residential development, activated with ground-floor retail and services spaces, and potential public open space. Once development of Phase 1 begins, at least about 700 parking spaces will remain available to BART riders in the remaining parking lots (shown below as the “not developable” area in red and “TOD Phase 2” in purple). In BART’s Fall 2025 parking occupancy count, 550 parking spaces were occupied across all of the Fremont Station parking lots.
