Developer Catellus is working on entitling phase 5 of Pacific Commons, an 840-acre site in Fremont, to add 350,000 square feet of retail and commercial space on 28 acres. The public comment period for an environmental impact review of the project will end on June 17. The proposal replaces a former plan to build 1.3 million square feet of office and R&D space on that land.

Pacific Commons already has 80 acres dedicated to 860,000 square feet of retail that houses tenants including Lowe’s Home Improvement, Costco, Kohl’s, Old Navy and restaurants such as P.F. Chang’s and Claim Jumper. Catellus spokesperson Mo Sheahan declined to comment on the new phase other than to say, “There will be more news about the project to come. We’re very excited about it.”
