9 BUSINESS ATTRACTION, RETENTION, AND GROWTH
Concentration of finance, insurance , and real estate industry sectors . Concord’s employment mix historically included a high concentration of jobs in these industry sectors relative to Contra Costa County overall. Despite declines over the past decade, these jobs still constitute nine percent of all jobs in the city.
Longstanding concentration of construction-related businesses. Concord’s large Construction industry sector represents 11 percent of all jobs in the city, with the industry especially concentrated in Concord and growing at a faster rate than in Contra Costa County overall over the past decade.
Growth and large presence of health care jobs. Although health care jobs are not especially concentrated in Concord compared to Contra Costa County overall, the Health Care and Social Assistance industry sector is Concord’s second largest . T he sector’s jobs grew at a faster rate in Concord compared to Contra Costa County over the past decade . The health care industry is also anchored in Concord by John Muir Health’s large local presence.
Growth of production and distribution jobs. Concord’s jobs in the Manufacturing, Wholesale Trade, and Transportation and Warehousing industry sectors constitute seven percent of employment in Concord.
Manufacturing and Transportation and Warehousing jobs grew at a faster pace in Concord compared to Contra Costa County since 2015, and Wholesale Trade jobs are relatively concentrated in Concord.
Access to diverse workforce. Concord’s location provides access to a large and diverse workforce in central and eastern Contra Costa County.
Worker access to relatively affordable housing. Housing is relatively affordable in Concord compared to many other locations in the Bay Area. For example, average asking rents for Concord apartments are lower than in the county overall and Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, and Martinez. Concord is also adjacent to lower cost locations in northern Contra Costa County and Solano County.
Supportive City staff and clear business permitting processes. Business owners and representatives interviewed for this study noted that City staff are responsive and helpful, and the City’s business permitting processes are straightforward.
BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND REAL ESTATE
BART and freeway access for commutes . Concord’s two BART stations and access via I -680 and Highways 4 and 242 provide excellent regional commute access for workers at businesses in Concord.
Freeway access to multiple regions for industrial uses. Concord’s location and freeways readily allow access to both the Bay Area and Sacramento regions, enabling distribution, logistics, and manufacturing businesses to access end users and supply chains within a multi-region area.
Presence of Buchanan Field. Although just outside Concord city boundaries, Buchanan Field provides convenient limited passenger flight service and has attracted aviation -related research and development companies.
Relatively low-cost office space. Average asking rents for Concord office space , regardless of class, are lower than all major competitors in the surrounding market area.
Strengths
10 Large inventory of desirable industrial space. Concord’s industrial space constitutes 40 percent of countywide industrial inventory, with most of Concord’s inventory consisting of distribution and warehousing space and flex space. Vacancy rates have remained below a low four percent since 2016.
RETAIL AND HOSPITALITY
Regional visibility, access, and traffic volumes. The interchange of I -680 and Highway 242 allows Concord to continue attracting shoppers from a large regional trade area.
Concentration of diverse regional retail destinations. Regional accessibility and visibility ha ve supported three generations of well-occupied regional shopping center concepts in Concord (Sunvalley, Willows, Park N Shop, and Veranda) and multiple automobile dealerships.
Presence of Todos Santos Plaza and walkable downtown. Todos Santos Plaza and the surrounding area are unique assets that provide a community gathering space and events focal point.
Visitor access to local and regional events and businesses. Concord’s hotels also benefit from the ability of guests to access events and businesses throughout the Bay Area via freeway and BART connections.
Presence of Toyota Pavilion and meeting space. Events at the Toyota Pavilion and meeting spaces at hotels such as the Hilton, Concord Plaza, and Clarion provide local support for overnight stays at Concord hotels.
Diverse hotel inventory. Concord includes hotels representing most product classes.
SMALL BUSINESSES AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Diverse population. Compared to many adjacent communities, Concord has a relatively large share of Latino, Asian, multiracial, and/or Black residents. 39 percent of Concord residents speak a language other than English at home. This diversity supports business opportunities to serve target population segments.
Regional destination for Latino businesses. The Monument Boulevard corridor is unique in the immediate area for its large concentration of Latino-oriented businesses, along with a variety of other diverse businesses.
Available support resources. Stakeholders interviewed for this study spoke positively about programming and resources provided by the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce and its Negocios Hispanos committee, as well as the efforts of economic development staff.
11 BUSINESS ATTRACTION, RETENTION, AND GROWTH
Lack of “brand” or name recognition. Stakeholders interviewed for this study repeatedly noted the lack of a known brand or name recognition for Concord as a business destination.
Declines in major office-based industry sectors. Concord’s overall job growth rate lagged the Bay Area since 2015 and 2020, with much of this decline driven by losses in Concord’s Real Estate, Finance and Insurance, and Information industry sectors. These losses are connected to declines in the “back office” uses that often relocate to less expensive regions or are easily performed via remote work.
Distance from regional innovation assets. Concord is relatively distant or difficult to access from many drivers of the Bay Area’s innovation economy, such as Stanford University, UC Berkeley, Silicon Valley, Lawrence Livermore and Sandia National Laboratories, concentrations of venture capital offices, and clusters of biotech businesses in South San Francisco, Emeryville, and Berkeley.
Distance from densest regional concentrations of the highly educated workforce. Concord’s share of population holding a bachelor’s degree or higher is lo wer than the county overall. More significantly, the Bay Area’s largest concentrations of highly educated population are especially concentrated in inner Bay Area communities such as Silicon Valley, the San Francisco Peninsula, San Francisco, and Berkeley—placing constraints on Concord’s ability to attract employers needing critical access to the region’s largest highly educated labor pools.
Concerns about development regulations and slow permitting. Stakeholders interviewed for this study noted that City development permitting processes can move slowly. Specific zoning and development regulation concerns were also raised, such as landscaping coverage requirements, restrictions on medical office or institutional uses in some zoning districts, restrictions on open yards in industrial districts, and interest in mixed-use zoning to allow housing in more employment districts.
Location within a relatively expensive region. Although Concord is located within a relatively affordable part of the Bay Area, housing costs are relatively high throughout the Bay Area compared to many other regions of the United States. These costs can impact the location decisions of employers seeking to reduce costs and the ability of workers to afford housing near jobs.
Homelessness concerns a nd safety concerns. Stakeholders interviewed for this study nearly unanimously noted concerns about homelessness and perceptions of safety in Concord , with a particular focus on freeway off-ramps and the Todos Santos Plaza area.
BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND REAL ESTATE
Older generation of office product. Concord’s office inventory primarily dates to the 1970s through the early 2000s and was often built to accommodate large-scale back-office uses—creating difficulties in subdividing spaces and meeting evolving tenant preferences.
Limited amenities in office and industrial districts. Stakeholders interviewed for this study often expressed an interest in additional dining and other retail amenities within proximity of industrial and office districts.
Weaknesses
12 Street and private property conditions. Stakeholders also noted the existence of streets with poor pavement quality and poor conditions at vacant private properties near various office districts.
Constrained industrial building supply. Given low industrial vacancy rates, stakeholders raised concerns about Concord’s limited industrial building supply, lack of larger buildings for scaling up operations, and limited buildings that meet power and other infrastructure needs for high tech manufacturing.
Varying market and ownership barriers to property development. Residential and commercial property development is constrained by high financing costs, recent increases in labor and materials costs, and relatively low achievable rents and sales prices compared to many inner Bay Area locations. Longtime property owners also have less incentive to pursue development and improvements under marginal market conditions given these owners’ low tax and other carrying costs for their properties. Outdated and underutilized properties in Concord’s gateway areas are often subject to these development barriers and lack of improvements for existing buildings.
RETAIL AND HOSPITALITY
Reduced foot traffic in Downtown and Sunvalley Shopping Center . Analysis by Greensfelder Commercial Real Estate shows that total visitor traffic to both areas has never recovered to pre - pandemic levels, with downtown especially impacted by declining office occupancy.
Fragmented shopping center ownership and private restrictions. As is typical of shopping centers, many of Concord’s larger shopping centers include multiple property owners, and major tenants have CC&Rs (“covenants, conditions, and restrictions”) that impact tenanting and changes to the property.
Distance from region’s largest event facilities. Concord’s distance from the Moscone Center in San Francisco and the Oakland Convention Center reduces the ability of Concord hotels to benefit from market “compression” when large events fill rooms in hotels closer to these centers and demand spreads outward throughout the region.
SMALL BUSINESSES AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Limited awareness of small business offerings and how to navigate City processes. Some stakeholders interviewed for this study noted a desire for shared marketing and promotion opportunities, especially online. Concord Economic Development staff noted that small businesses unaccustomed to engaging with City processes also raise challenges in navigating these systems.
13 BUSINESS ATTRACTION, RETENTION, AND GROWTH
Capture health care growth. Employment projections for the region and Contra Costa County indicate continued health care industry growth as the large Baby Boomer population ages.
Capture manufacturing activity needs, including medical device s. Although employment projections do not indicate significant employment growth in the region’s Manufacturing industry sector, manufacturing investment and businesses can continue to grow as processes become more efficient.
Concord’s industrial building stock, low costs, and presence of some medical device manufacturing businesses provide a base for attracting additional manufacturing activities.
Capture c onstruction-related business growth . Concord’s large and growing Construction industry sector is positioned to grow as development conditions improve in the Bay Area.
Explore potential government and institutional demand. Government, education -related, and institutional tenants provide a potential means of filling vacant office space in Concord.
Leverage regional initiatives. Regional initiatives provide opportunities to collaboratively support business growth and development in Concord. Examples include the Association of Bay Area Governments’ Priority Production Areas technical assistance, the Northern Waterfront initiative , and the Green Empowerment Zone.
Buchanan Field investments and programs . Contra Costa County’s “Bay Area Test Site” (BATS) program seeks to locate innovative businesses to Buchanan Field, potentially generating future expansion interest by companies within Concord. Contra Costa County is also planning to undertake a master planning process for Buchanan Field in the coming years.
Regional workforce development collaborations to build skills in “career pathways.” Ongoing and enhanced collaborations between various workforce development, education institutions, and major employers can enhance preparation of the Concord workforce for in-demand career pathway jobs.
BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND REAL ESTATE
Selective redevelopment or repurposing of office space. Given trends disfavoring rapid growth of office demand in Concord, the city’s existing inventory of office space would likely benefit from strategic “pruning” through redevelopment and conversions of space to housing and other uses.
Capture San Francisco and Oakland businesses seeking workforce proximity and lower cost space.
Concord remains an appealing location for businesses that prefer lower cost space and have workers that largely reside in and near Contra Costa County.
Retail trends toward boutique and experiential offerings. Retail is shifting toward greater emphasis on businesses that cannot be replicated online, such as unique boutique offerings and dining, entertainment, and recreation.
Leverage Naval Wea pons Station development. Future development at the former Concord Naval Weapons Station site will create significant demand for construction -related businesses, hotel demand for construction workers, and will ultimately support local retail businesses and supply chains.
Opportunities
14 Capture housing demand. Despite current financial feasibility challenges for developing housing in Concord, any future recovery in housing development activity will create new opportunities to fill vacant and underutilized sites.
RETAIL AND HOSPITALITY
Expand housing and customer base in and near select shopping centers. Allowing higher -density mixed-use residential development at and near many of Concord’s major shopping centers can increase local customer bases while also adding vibrancy and activity.
SMALL BUSINESSES AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Leverage local resident base to drive new business startups. Business locations are often selected based primarily on proximity to the founder or owner.
Strategically support vendors. Local stakeholders noted concerns about competition from unlicensed vendors, especially in the Monument Boulevard corridor. Simple pathways to legalization and other business training and support services can expand opportunities for these business owners while contributing to Concord’s economy and ensuring fair competition.
Enhance supply chain connections. Multiple stakeholders noted a desire to better understand available vendors in Concord to build a local supply chain.
15 BUSINESS ATTRACTION, RETENTION, AND GROWTH
Impacts of tariffs and related uncertainty. Tariffs and potential economic restructuring can potentially increase costs and uncertainty for businesses—especially retailers that sell imported products.
Closure of oil refinery. Valero plans to close its Benicia refinery within the next year. This closure will likely impact working residents of Concord and demand for services from the city’s construction and engineering businesses.
Increasing housing costs. Future increases in regional and local housing costs could potentially displace Concord residents and disincentivize businesses from locating in the city.
BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND REAL ESTATE
Slow growth in overall regional office demand. Regional office demand may be slow to recover from declines since the Covid-19 pandemic due to a permanent increase in fully remote jobs and retention of “hybrid” work schedules. Operators of office buildings interviewed for this study noted that worker occupancy in leased spaces averages approximately 50 to 60 percent over the course of the work week, and businesses often seek reductions in space during lease renewals. The Bay Area Council’s regional Return to Office Survey from February 2025 found that nearly 85 percent of responding businesses have completed implementing their long -term policy for in -person and remote work , suggesting that current remote and hybrid work business policies are unlikely to significantly change.
RETAIL AND HOSPITALITY
Reduced office worker populations. Although more workers continue to commute into Concord than out of Concord, the total number of office workers in Concord may remain lower than in recent decades—creating less demand for dining, services, and retail.
Slow recovery of the regional hospitality industry. Slow growth of convention and meeting activity at Moscone Center, Oakland Convention Center, and other facilities can potentially impact the entire Bay Area’s hotel industry.
Threats
16 Existing Conditions Summary
Strategic Economics completed a variety of data analyses to identify Concord’s competitive positioning, opportunities, and challenges that impact the city’s economic development opportunities and needs. Strategic Economics and the City of Concord also conducted outreach to local stakeholders to inform and complement the findings of the data analyses. Stakeholder outreach activities included six focus groups and seven one -on-one interviews with local stakeholders. The engagement findings are integrated with the findings of the data analyses and the SWOT conclusions in Section II of this report.
DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS
Concord’s demographic characteristics influence the city’s economic development opportunities in a variety of ways. The size and composition of the residential customer base and workforce impacts Concord’s ability to attract and retain businesses, sustain positive commercial retail performance, and grow its total employment.
The following findings describe the existing demographics of Concord’s population and households in terms of race and ethnicity, income, and education. The findings are based on analysis of 2010 and 2023 data obtained from the Census’s American Community Survey (ACS) 5 -year estimates.
Therefore, the data covers the 2006 to 2010 period and the 2018 to 2023 period ; detailed demographic and household data is often only available via these 5-year estimates.
Key Findings
With a population of over 124,000, Concord is one of the East Bay’s primary population centers. The surrounding areas of Martinez, Pleasant Hill, and Walnut Creek combine to equal around 140,000 in population. As shown in Figure 2, Concord has continued to grow its population since 2010, and its population greatly exceeds the surrounding communities.

Concord’s median household income is lower than the surrounding communities and Contra Costa County. Concord’s median household income in 2023 was just over $109,000, nearly $20,000 lower than the median household income in Martinez, Pleasant Hill, or Walnut Creek. Between 2010 and 2023, Concord’s median household income grew by over 65 percent, which is similar to the growth in other surrounding communities. The high median household incomes of Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek may better position these cities to attract certain types of high-skill and innovation-oriented jobs.

WORKFORCE
The following findings describe characteristics of Concord’s workforce in terms of education and commuting patterns. In addition, Concord’s workforce is compared to its residents to examine the match between the resident workforce and the types of jobs located in the city.
Commuting characteristics for this analysis were based on 2022 data obtained through the U.S.
Census Bureau Longitudinal Employer-Households Dynamics (LEHD) On the Map tool. Of note, LEHD data only describes broad industry sectors and is not currently available beyond 2022 recent years; the data therefore cannot be used for detailed and timely economic analysis , which was instead completed using other data sources.
Job Access and Commute Patterns
Analysis of regional commuting patterns and transit ridership to both Concord’s BART stations identifies the role that Concord plays in regional workforce trends and how workforce and commercial activity may shift in the coming years.
Concord is a net importer of workers. In 2022, over 3,500 more workers commuted to Concord for work than left the city to work elsewhere. Only Walnut Creek has a larger net import of workers in the market area.

Concord residents are relatively likely to work within the city compared to residents of surrounding communities. Over 13 percent of Concord jobs are held by residents of the city, the highest in the market area. San Ramon and Walnut Creek, which are both locations that compete with Concord for employment opportunities and business attraction, have a lower share of residents that also work within their city.

FIGURE 12: WHERE WORKERS AT JOBS IN CONCORD COMMUTE FROM, 2022
Concord residents are a primary source of workforce for many communities across the East Bay and the core Bay Area . In 2022, over 25 percent of Concord residents commuted to San Francisco, Oakland, and Walnut Creek. Locally, Concord is the largest home origin of workforce to both Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek.
23 FIGURE 13: WHERE CONCORD RESIDENTS COMMUTE TO FOR WORK, 2022
BART ridership trends suggest that ridership to and from Concord stations has not recovered since 2020. The Concord station has closely mirrored the BART system recovery patterns since 2020, and it is still at less than 50 percent of its weekday exits compared to a 2010 baseline. The North Concord/Martinez station has recovered even less of its ridership during this time period, especially compared to its high of weekday exits in 2016. This suggests that both residents and workforce are not using BART to commute to and from Concord in general, but especially not to North Concor d, in the same way that they did prior to 2020 . It should be noted, however, the North Concord ridership may have been negatively impacted by the eBART extension into eastern Contra Costa County.
24 FIGURE 14: BART AVERAGE WEEKDAY ALIGHTINGS CHANGE (%) FROM 2010 BASELINE
Source: BART, 2025; Strategic Economics, 2025.
Regardless of overall trends in work locations, BART ridership and reports from office owners and operators suggest lower overall physical presence of workers at jobs in Concord. Regional office demand may be slow to recover from declines since the Covid -19 pandemic due to a permanent increase in fully remote jobs and retention of “hybrid” work schedules. Operators of office buildings interviewed for this study noted that worker oc cupancy in leased spaces averages approximately 50 to 60 percent over the course of the work week (and possibly as low as 20 percent on Mondays and Fridays). Businesses often seek reductions in space during lease renewals.
In-person work recovery rates may begin to slow as businesses have shifted their expectations of employees. According to the Bay Area Council’s Return to Office Survey in February 2025, nearly 85 percent of businesses responded that they have completed implementing their long-term policy for in- person and remote work. This means that Concord may not experience continued long-term return to in-person work for many local businesses. Decreased in -person work expectations may lead to businesses continuing to reduce office space demand both regionally and locally.
Job Quality and Job-Skill Match
The following findings describe the relative alignment of local jobs with the jobs and education levels held by Concord residents . Better alignment between local jobs and working residents can expand resident job opportunities and reduce commuting needs—although a large percentage of workers will commute outside their communities in a region as large and dynamic as the Bay Area.
Concord has a relatively high share of population with less than a bachelor’s degree. In 2023, over 60 percent of Concord’s population had less than a bachelor’s degree. This is a higher share of the population than Martinez, Pleasant Hill, and Walnut Creek, as seen in Figure 15. -100%

The mix of jobs held by workers in Concord is primarily concentrated in health care, retail, food and accommodation, finance, or construction and distribution industry sectors. Compared to the industries in which Concord’s residents work, the city includes a high share of retail, service, construction, and administration jobs, as shown in Figure 16. In 2022, LEHD data indicated only 7 percent of Concord residents worked in the Construction industry sector but over 12 percent of workers at jobs in the city were employed in this sector.
A much higher share of Concord’s residents work in the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (PSTS), Information, and Public Administration industry sectors compare d to workers at jobs in the city. As of 2022, nearly 20 percent of Concord’s employed residents worked in these three industry sectors, yet only around 10 percent of workers at jobs in Concord were employed in these industry sectors. These industry sectors include businesses and public entities that tend to either pay high salaries or provide significant worker benefits. The limited share of such jobs in Concord relative to the resident workforce suggests that there is an opportunity for Concord to grow these industries and benefit from the proximity to this skilled workforce within the city. 0%

BUSINESSES AND JOBS
The “Businesses and Jobs” findings describe the composition and performance of Concord’s economy, along with other indicators of key industry trends. The findings are based on analyses of employment by industry sector, venture capital investment, and qualitative input from stakeholder engagement.
The industry and sub -industry sectors described throughout this chapter conform to the North American Industry Classification System, commonly referred to as “NAICS.” NAICS is a standardized set of industry and sub-industry classifications, each of which is assigned a NAICS code ranging from high-level 2-digit industry codes to more detailed 6-digit industry codes.
The analysis of jobs by industry sector was based on 2015, 2020, and 2025 data obtained from Lightcast for the 2 -digit and 4-digit NAICS code levels , with Lightcast data obtained via the East Bay Economic Development Alliance . Venture capital investment data for 202 5 was obtained through Gazelle through the City of Concord.
Lightcast data is available at the ZIP code level rather than jurisdiction level , but was selected for analysis due to its timeliness, level of detail, flexibility, and availability. Ther efore, Lightcast data described as representing Concord comprise ZIP codes 94518, 94519, 94520, 94521.

27 As part of the process to identify industries that are concentrated in Concord, Strategic Economics employed a metric known as the “location quotient.” This metric represents the relative concentration of jobs in a given industry in Concord compared to Contra Costa County and a representative six-county Bay Area region (Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Solano Counties).
Economic Overview
The following findings describe Concord’s economic composition and trends based on jobs by industry sector.
Concord is home to nearly 64,000 jobs and is a regional employment center, but job growth has lagged Contra Costa County . As shown in Figure 17, Concord currently includes approximately the same number of jobs as in 2015, with total growth of one percent. Contra Costa County experienced faster job growth during this time period, with a seven percent increase since 2015—as shown in Figure 18.

WHAT IS A LOCATION QUOTIENT?
A location quotient (LQ) is a metric used to understand the relative concentration of an industry in a study area (in this case, Concord ), compared to a reference geography (in this case, Contra Costa County or the Bay Area). LQs are used to assess an area’s specialization, weaknesses, and opportunities for growth within a broader region. The LQ of a given industry A in Concord , compared to Contra Costa County, is calculated using the following formula:
𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿 𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓 𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝑓𝑓𝐼𝐼 𝐴𝐴
= (𝐽𝐽𝑓𝑓
𝐽𝐽𝐼𝐼 𝑖𝑖
𝐼𝐼 𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝑓𝑓𝐼𝐼 𝐴𝐴 𝑖𝑖

𝑓𝑓𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼𝐼)⁄
LQs were interpreted using the rules of thumb below. Note that these vary based on the aggregation level of the industry and the size of the study area and reference geography. • LQ > 1.15 indicates a generally high concentration relative to the reference geography; • LQ between 0.85 and 1.15 indicates a normal or average distribution of that industry compared to the reference geography;
• LQ < 0.85 indicates a relatively low concentration relative to the reference geography.

Concord’s largest industry sectors provide a wide range of jobs and indicate a diversifying mix of jobs in the city. This mix of jobs includes industries that have regional, national, and global reach while also supporting local residents and workers. The largest industries in Concord by total employment are shown in 19. Growth trends from 2015 to 2025 are shown in Figure 20. • Health Care and Social Assistance. This is Concord’s largest industry sector, accounting for 17 percent of all jobs in the city. Since 2015, the total Health Care and Social Assistance jobs grew by more than 45 percent, which exceeds Contra Costa County’s growth rate during the same period. Examples of these jobs includes hospitals, medical offices, health aids, medical laboratories, and assisted living facilities. The industry subsector that is the main source of job growth is Individual and Family Service s, which includes health aides and assisted living support professions.
• Construction. This is the second largest industry by employment in Concord, with 11 percent of all jobs in the city. Since 2015, the total Construction jobs grew by 30 percent in Concord, faster than Contra Costa County overall. Concord’s jobs in the construction industry include a range of contracting and construction work for residential, nonresidential, street and highway, and other specialty trade contractors. Examples of l arge construction employers in Concord include The Conco Companies, The Nevell Group and Aptim Federal Services.
• Retail Trade. Concord has a large share (11 percent) of jobs in retail trade that includes a mix of regional-serving and local-serving retail. For example, the Sunvalley and Veranda shopping centers draw customers from a wide trade area , and auto dealerships in the city draw customers from across the county. Since 2015, retail jobs in the city have declined slightly.
Contra Costa County also had negative growth in retail jobs during this time period, as retail trends have generally favored expansion of food services, entertainment, and recreation rather than traditional retail. The Building Material and Supplies Dealers and Grocery Stores industry subsectors have gained jobs in Concord since 2015, and the Department and Furniture store subsectors lost jobs during this time period.

29 • Finance and Insurance . This industry sector was the third largest in the city in 2015 (12 percent of total jobs) but has lost a substantial number of jobs in the last decade and now constitutes seven percent of total jobs in Concord. Concord’s negative job growth in this industry exceeds the rate of Contra Costa County during the last ten years, even though the county has also lost finance and insurance jobs. Large finance businesses have moved out of Concord in the past ten years, like Bank of America, and shifted their operations elsewhere in the State or the Country. Subsectors in this industry like Credit Intermediation, Brokerages, and Insurance Carriers have all lost jobs in Concord over the last ten years.
• Administration and Support. This industry sector accounts for ten percent of all jobs in the city and has grown by 18 percent since 2015, which mirrors the county growth rate. This industry sector includes the Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery waste management business and Admiral Security Services security business which are headquartered in Concord. In addition, the industry sector includes support services for buildings, including security. The diverse nature of the jobs in this industry sector and the fact m any of these employers provide staffing for locations outside the city limit this sector’s potential as a targeted growth industry for economic development efforts.

Concord continues to transition from its historical role as a back -office destination into a city that contains a variety of jobs in different industries. As seen in Figure 20, since 2015 Concord has lost jobs in many office-based industry sectors like Information, Finance and Insurance, and Real Estate.
However, the city has gained jobs in industry sectors that utilize industrial and other types of space like Transportation and Warehousing, Health Care and Social Assistance, and Construction.
To better understand how Concord’s job mix has changed and diversified since 2015, Figure 21 summarizes industry performance by grouping industry sectors into the types of customers they serve and the space with which they are most closely associated. “Storefront-based” industry sectors mainly include retail, food, and other commercial businesses found in Concord’s major shopping centers and along commercial corridors like Monument Boulevard. The office -based industry group includes a variety of sectors that rely on traditional office space like Information, Finance and Insurance, and Real Estate. The production, distribution, and repair industry group includes sectors that primarily utilize industrial space like Manufacturing, Construction, and Wholesale Trade. The other industry group includes sectors that have the potential to utilize office space for institutional uses li ke local, regional, and federal government and educational services. Figure 21 also includes the location quotient for each industry group in Concord versus Contra Costa County in 2015 and 2025 to illustrate the changing concentration of each industry group over the past decade. -80% -60% -40% -20% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80%

Concord’s office-based industry group has lost jobs and concentration since 2015. Office-based industry sectors lost 32 percent of their total jobs in Concord since 2015, which is a larger decrease in jobs than Contra Costa County. In addition, Concord’s concentration of office-based industry sector jobs, which was very strong in 2015, has decreased substantially since 2015 relative to Contra Costa County. Since 2015, the Finance and Insurance industry sector has suffered a significant decline in jobs in Concord.
Concord has gained jobs in Health Care, PDR, and Other industry groups since 2015. Job growth in all three industry groups met or exceeded growth in the same group in Contra Costa County over the past ten years. PDR industry sectors have become much more concentrated in Concord during this time.
The PDR industry group includes multiple industry sectors that grew in Concord over the past ten years like Construction, Transportation and Warehousing, and Manufacturing.
32 Key Industry Sectors
This section focuses on industry sectors that Concord is well positioned to leverage and prioritize for continued economic development, business attraction, and job growth. Significant industry sectors may be those that are concentrated in Concord relative to Contra Costa County , growing faster than the County as a whole, or projected to increase in total employment over the next ten years. Figure 22 shows the relative concentrati on of industry sectors in Concord and Figure 23 illustrates projected industry sector employment growth in the county and the Bay Area MSA. Detailed l ong-term employment projections do not exist for smaller geographies like Concord , but regional projections provide insight into wh ich industries are expected to grow in the coming years and therefore opportunities for a city to capture additional business activity.

Figure 24 provides a holistic summary of Concord industry sectors by combining their job growth between 2015 and 2025, their total jobs in 2025, and their relative concentration in 2025 into one figure. Generally, the industry sectors representing ongoing opportunities for the city are located in the top right of the figure as those are both concentrated and growing in Concord. The industry sectors in the top left of the figure are those that are concentrated in Concord but have lost jobs over the past ten years, creating a need to either protect these industries from further losses or anticipate ongoing decline depending on regional trends . Industry sectors in the bottom right of the figure are potential future industries of interest for Concord as they are growing rapidly despite not being particularly concentrated in the city.

Concord is an area of concentration for the Construction and Wholesale Trade industry sectors .
Between 2015 and 2025, the Construction and Wholesale Trade industry sectors have grown faster in Concord than the County and they are both very concentrated in Concord compared to the County and the Bay Area, as seen in Figure 22. While Concord is currently an area where these industries tend to concentrate, employment projections suggest that the city may not be able to rely on stable job growth in the manufacturing, construction, and wholesale trade industries based on low County employment projections seen in Figure 23.
Concord is well positioned to capture regional growth in the Transportation and Warehousing industry.
Total jobs in this industry sector grew by 47 percent in Concord since 2015. The industry is relatively unconcentrated in Concord but recent employment growth locally in conjunction with a high projected growth in the county by 2035 suggests that Concord is well positioned to capture Transportation and Warehousing growth as long as it has the appropriate industrial inventory supply.
The Health Care and Social Assistance industry sector is positioned for further concentration and growth in Concord. Between 2015 and 2025, total jobs in this industry grew by 46 percent in Concord, despite the industry sector being slightly less concentrated in Concord relative to Contra Costa County.
Concord is well positioned to leverage its recent growth in this industry to attract additional businesses in the industry sector as the sector’s total jobs are expected to nearly triple in Contra Costa County by 2060 per Woods and Poole employment projection data in Figure 23. These employment numbers align with feedback from local stakeholders that Concord may be primed to attract demand for medical space in existing office or industrial buildings.
36 Concord has some potential to capture growth in innovation-oriented subsectors—especially those with connections to industrial building supply . Since 2015, Concord has gained jobs in the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services industry sector despite the sector being less concentrated in Concord relative to Contra Costa County. Less growth in these industry sectors in Contra Costa County is estimated over the next decade compared to the Bay Area as a whole, but total jobs in the sector are still projected to increase by over 10 percent by 2035 as seen in Figure 23. Concord is positioned to grow innovation-oriented jobs based on the skill and diverse workforce of Contra Costa County and the East Bay, existing base of affordable office and industrial inventory, and opportunities for development of new facilities in Concord such as the Naval Weapons Reuse redevelopment project.
Concord can leverage regional employment projections to attract local and federal institutional tenants to its existing inventory. Local real estate brokers and developers noted that institutional tenants have interest in occupying currently vacated office space in Concord and the city’s total jobs in local government have grown at a higher rate than Contra Costa County. Looking forward, Contra Costa County total jobs in the Education Services, Utilities, and Administration -related industries are expected to increase substantially by 2035 as seen in Figure 23.
Concord is losing its historical concentration of Information, Finance and Insurance, and other office- based management jobs . All three industry sectors have lost jobs since 2015 and may continue to weaken as an industry concentration in Concord without drastic changes to regional and local office demand and workforce trends. These losses are connected to declines in the “back office” uses that often relocate to less expensive regions or are easily performed via remote work.
Small and Home-Based Business
An analysis of Concord’s small and home -based businesses can focus City efforts to support local businesses and entrepreneurs through marketing, technical assistance, workforce development, and other business support initiatives. The small and home-based business analysis was based on 2025 business license data obtained from The City of Concord.
Over one-third of businesses based in Concord are home -based businesses. As shown in Figure 26, over 2,000 of Concord’s 5,800 total businesses are home -based. This share of home -based businesses has likely increased since 2020 due to changing workplace trends since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Non-Home Based
Businesses
37 Concord home -based businesses are primarily in the contracting, tech -oriented, and arts and recreation-related industry sectors. Over 65 percent of Professional, Scientific, and Technical Service businesses in Concord are based out of the home as shown in Figure 27. Conversely, businesses in the real estate, finance, and insurance industries are the least likely to be home-based. These latter industries have lost both jobs and concentration in Concord over the past decade which may limit return-to-work, daytime foot traffic, and office demand for the city.

Venture Capital Investment
This section includes findings from a review of recent venture capital investments in businesses in Concord and Contra Costa County. The amount of venture capital investment and the industry sectors of startup businesses in Concord provide insight into the city’s positioning to attract innovation- oriented businesses in relation to other communities in the county . Venture capital investment data for 2023 to 2025 was obtained from Gazelle through the City of Concord.
The number of venture capital investments in Concord businesses lags those occurring in San Ramon, Richmond, and Walnut Creek. As shown in Figure 28, of all businesses that have received funding in the last two years in Contra Costa County only four were in Concord, compared to 14 and 10 in Richmond and Walnut Creek , respectively. However, local real estate brokers noted Concord’s geographic location and its local airport as appealing traits for startups and new small businesses.

39 COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL REAL ESTATE MARKET
CONDITIONS
The performance of commercial real estate in the City of Concord reflects the city’s ability to both retain and attract businesses. In addition, the total inventory, quality, and diversity of space available in Concord impacts its potential to offer business expansion opportunities to prospective tenants. Rental rates, vacancy, development activity, and absorption are all indicators of the real estate market conditions in the city.
This report section provides an assessment of office, industrial, hospitality, and multifamily uses in the City of Concord. The findings are based on real estate market data obtained from CoStar Group (CoStar), interviews with local brokers and developers, and focus group meetings with retail, office, and industrial stakeholders. This report does not include retail real estate market conditions as this topic is analyzed in detail as part of the commercial real estate market analysis prepared by Greensfelder Real Estate Strategy that is attached to this report as an appendix.
A theme seen across all types of uses in Concord is an overall slowdown of development. This is due to a variety of local, regional, and national economic factors but Concord may suffer more than other areas due to its relatively low achievable rents for all uses in comparison to the strongest market communities in the core Bay Area —even as construction and financing costs are similar across the entire region.
Office
Concord’s office inventory shrank since 2015, largely due to redevelopment of the former Chevron office campus. The city lost nearly 600,000 square feet of office space during this period, a large share of which was the conversion of office space to the Veranda Shopping Center. Overall office inventory has decreased in most of the market area communities, but Concord has lost the greatest share of its office square footage since 2015.

Concord office vacancy rates have continued to rise since the onset of the Covid pandemic, hitting an all-time high in 2025. Concord’s total office vacancy is approximately 25 percent higher than any city in the market area. Concord’s high office vacancy rates and feedback from local property owners and real estate brokers suggest that the city struggles to compete for office demand with places like Walnut Creek and Bishop Ranch that have the walkability and amenities that office tenants desire, despite Concord’s relative affordability and accessibility. In addition, stakeholders noted public safety, infrastructure, and code enforcement concerns that may limit demand for office space in Concord.

41 in place—which aligns with Concord’s trend of negative office absorption since 201 5. This reuse of Chevron’s office space serves as a useful example of the value that a city can obtain from selectively pruning its vacant or outdated office space to utilize for commercial activity and foot traffic-generating uses.

Concord office space is relatively affordable across all office classes, and vacancy rates are lower for Class B and C space. As shown Figure 34, average asking rents for Concord office space, regardless of class, are lower than all major competitors in the surrounding market area. Class B and C space is especially well occupied, with vacancy rate lower than most other communities.

42 area and the Shadelands area. However, Class A office space in all these locations achieve average rents at least $.50 higher than Concord. Local real estate brokers and developers noted the affordability of office space in Concord compared to the surrounding area and how this may help position Concord to attract value-oriented office tenants.
Structural shifts in the regional office market create challenges for the health of Concord’s office market. Changing workforce trends have created less of need for back-office space that has historically clustered in the city. Many office buildings that historically served back-office use often have large floor plates that are not suitable for multi -tenant leasing scenarios. In addition, back -office work is more easily transitioned to remote work than some other office -based uses, which limits Concord’s overall office leasing activity.
Continued high work from home rates and slow recovery of in-person work may positively impact Concord retail performance at the expense of office performance. As noted earlier, i nterviews with local property and business owners found an in-office work rate of approximately 50 to 60 percent for leased office space in Concord overall. This rate is as low as 20 percent on Monday and Friday of each week. Limited return to in-office work in conjunction with a higher share of residents working from home may increase midday and weekday foot traffic for retail space in Concord , but also negatively impact office demand and occupancy.
No major office development has occurred in Concord since the early 2000s . Concord’s office inventory primarily dates to the 1970s through the early 2000s and was often built to accommodate large-scale back-office uses—creating difficulties in subdividing spaces and meeting evolving tenant preferences.
Outdated or underutilized office space could potentially capture demand from non-office tenants if Concord pursues land use and zoning flexibility in office zones. Feedback from local stakeholders identified institutional, educational services, and medical -based uses as prime options to tenant vacant office space in the city. However, attempts to bring medical uses into office buildings throughout the city have been complicated by inflexible use standards and the requirement of a use permit for some medical uses in mixed-office zones.
Concord would likely benefit from strategic reductions of office space. Given trends disfavoring rapid growth of office demand in Concord, the city’s existing inventory of office space would likely benefit from strategic “pruning” through redevelopment and conversions of space to housing and other uses.
Industrial
Concord includes the largest inventory of industrial space within the immediate market area, including especially large quantities of distribution and warehousing space . Concord’s industrial inventory includes over 5.5 million square feet of distribution and warehousing space—as shown in Figure 35— which is 40 percent of the County total.
Concord also includes a substantial amount of Flex space and only lags Antioch and Pittsburg in manufacturing space. Concord contains 48 percent of the County flex space and 14 percent of the County manufacturing space.
43 FIGURE 35: CONCORD INDUSTRIAL INVENTORY BY SECONDARY TYPE (RENTABLE BUILDING AREA), 2025
Source: CoStar, 2025; Strategic Economics, 2025.
Concord industrial rents have largely increased since 2014, and Concord commands competitive rents for industrial space . Concord’s average monthly rent per square foot of around $1.50 is the third highest industrial rent in the market area. This suggests that Concord has relatively strong demand for industrial space. San Ramon and Martinez are the only surrounding cities that achieve higher industrial rents than Concord. This data aligns with feedback from local property and business owners who noted the strength of Concord’s industrial market, particularly for distribution and light manufacturing space.

Concord industrial vacancy has remained relatively low over the past decade compared to other market area communities. Concord’s industrial vacancy rate has remained below four percent since 2015, whereas vacancy rates in most cities in the market area rose over that same time period. Low industrial vacancy rates mirror feedback from real estate brokers that industrial space in Concord is in high demand due to its direct access to workforce and end -users in East Contra Costa County and Sacramento.

Concord’s constrained industrial supply may limit attraction and retention of businesses. Rising rents and steady vacancy rates suggest that Concord d emand is strong for Concord industrial space.
However, local real estate brokers and industrial businesses noted a lack of available industrial space for new businesses or for existing businesses to expand in place.
Demand for industrial space in Concord could be further stimulated with increased amenities and infrastructure and aesthetic improvements in the city’s key industrial districts. Businesses and real estate brokers noted a distinct lack of amenities and transportation connections for workforce in North Concord.
Local stakeholders noted a variety of land use and zoning concerns that impact industrial users .
Regional developers and brokers noted the financial implications of requiring tenants to construct fences around their entire property, which may reduce overall business attraction for the city.
Stakeholders also repeatedly noted the challenges created by requirements for landscaped areas.
Concord has two currently under construction or recently built industrial development projects. The Concord Industrial Center and Pape Material Handling building projects are both in the North Concord industrial district and will total over 100,000 square feet of new industrial space . The Concord Industrial Center project includes construction of three buildings that will house a variety of light industrial uses.
Varying market and ownership factors create barriers to property development. Concord still retains a limited inventory of readily developed land zoned for industrial uses. However, l ongtime property owners have less incentive to pursue development given these owners’ low tax and other carrying costs for their properties.

Concord includes 40 percent of the hotel room inventory in the market area. Illustrated in Figure 38, Concord’s total hotel room inventory increased slightly since 2014, but its share of the regional hotel inventory declined during that time period. In contrast, Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek increased their shares of the region’s hotel inventory.
FIGURE 38: MARKET AREA HOTEL INVENTORY, 2014 TO 2025 YTD

The Concord and Contra Costa County hotel markets are recovering slowly from the Covid -19 pandemic, which will likely constrain hotel development opportunities in the near term. Concord and other Contra Costa County cities’ average revenue per room and occupancy rates have not recovered since 2020, as shown in Figure 39 and Figure 40. As of 2025, Concord hotel’s average occupation is down 25 percent from a 2019 baseline, and occupancy rates have not recovered as well as hotels in Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek. In addition, Concord’s average revenue per room is down 30 percent from a 2019 baseline, which is similar to the recovery of the market area. Concord’s transient occupancy tax receipts also reflect these conditions, as hotel properties generated lower revenue in 2024 than in 2019, as seen in Figure 41.

Just 14 percent of proposed hotel rooms in Contra Costa County are in Concord. Only 198 of the 1,400 total proposed rooms are located in Concord, all of which would be in a proposed Courtyard by Marriott hotel that is replacing over 320 rooms in the Concord Plaza Hotel . Most of the hotel space that is currently proposed in Contra Costa County is in El Cerrito, Brentwood, and Richmond. However, there is only one proposed hotel property in the market area outside of Concord—the proposed hotel site is located in Pleasant Hill.
Concord’s hotel market benefits from convenient access to the region and local and regional events and businesses. Local hotel operators noted Concord’s main market segment as business travel and construction workers who are seeking affordable lodging and convenient access to regional employers throughout Contra Costa County. Concord hotels also provide efficient access to other parts of the Bay Area via BART and major freeways. Concord’s hotels also benefit from the ability of guests to access events and businesses throughout the Bay Area via freeway and BART connections. At the local level events at the Toyota Pavilion and meeting spaces at hotels such as the Hilton and Concord Plaza provide local support for overnight stays at Concord hotels.
Concord’s hotel performance is limited by distance from major convention centers and slow recovery of the region’s hospitality industry. Concord’s distance from the Moscone Center in San Francisco and the Oakland Convention Center reduces the ability of Concord hotels to benefit from market “compression” when large events fill rooms in hotels closer to these centers and demand spreads outward throughout the region. Slow growth of convention and meeting activity at Moscone Center, Oakland Convention Center, and other facilities can potentially negatively impact the entire Bay Area’s hotel industry.

Task 4: Retail Analysis, Existing Conditions, and SWOT
DATE: September 21, 2025
Commercial Real Estate Market Analysis
Part of the larger East Bay market and I-680 corridor sub-market, the Concord/Pleasant Hill retail submarket has a vacancy rate of 5.4% as of the second quarter of 2025. According to Costar, over the past year, the submarket's vacancy rate has changed by 0.06%, a result of no net delivered space and -6,700 SF of net absorption. Concord/Pleasant Hill's neighborhood center vacancy stands at 5.3%, power center vacancy at 20.1%, strip center vacancy at 5.3%, mall vacancy at 3.9%, and general retail vacancy at 3.7%. The Concord/Pleasant Hill retail submarket has roughly 920,000 SF of space listed as available, for an availability rate of 8.7%. The following graph shows historical and projected vacancy rates both for a variety of product types but also for the Concord/Pleasant Hill and East Bay markets.
Source: Costar
The Concord/Pleasant Hill retail submarket contains roughly 10.6 million SF of inventory, and there is no retail space under construction. Overall retail rents are $31.00/SF/NNN, slightly down over the prior year. The following chart shows historical rents and expected rent growth:
Source: Costar
It should be noted that these rents are for the Concord/Pleasant Hill market as a whole, and that individual centers will have different asking and achieved rents. That said, the rents noted here too low to justify the cost of new construction, so most retail activity is likely to be recycling existing vacant space in the sub-market.
There has been relatively little retail traded in the sub-market. One notable exception is Vineyard Shopping Center in which the Lucky box was sold in March, 2025 for $18 million or $298/SF.

Retail SWOT Analysis
Following is a SWOT analysis that focuses specifically on retail issues:
Strengths
• Customer Loyalty & Regional Pull
o 60–70% of customers are Concord residents; strong local and regional loyalty. o Concord attracts regional buyers (especially Lamorinda). • Vehicle Sales Mix
o SUV and truck sales dominate, matching consumer demand. • City Police Department Support
o Strong police response and encampment removals improve safety and business confidence.
• Location Anchors
o Costco and Sun Valley Mall drive high traffic and validate location. • Ethnic Diversity
o Ethnic food & beverage tenants (esp. in Park & Shop) are leading leasing efforts. • City Responsiveness
o Improved responsiveness from the Planning Department recently.
Weaknesses
• EV Transition Burden
1 Potential banquet hall coming, but space vacant as of date of this memo.
o Mandated shift to 70% EV inventory and costly charger infrastructure. o Delays due to PG&E and late-stage permitting changes (e.g., transformer room surprise).
• Workforce Challenges
o Severe shortage of auto technicians with no relief in sight. • Retail Coordination Gaps
o Fragmented ownership (e.g., Park & Shop: 28 buildings, 22 owners) hinders coordinated upgrades.
• Downtown Leasing Struggles
o Hybrid work has reduced foot traffic.
o Perceived safety issues hurt leasing, especially downtown. • Zoning & Development Delays
o Unclear zoning (Monument/Oak Grove) slows development. o City overreach in entitlement processes (e.g., ask for common area). • Infrastructure Limitations
o Congested traffic flow (Concord Ave/Veranda area).
o Need for façade refresh, striping, and modern parking ratios.
Opportunities
• Monument/Oak Grove Revitalization
o High recent offers; potential for mixed-use or higher-density development. o Underutilized pads and vacant anchors (e.g., former bowling alley) offer upside. • Branding & Identity Building
o Promote Monument as an international shopping corridor. o Ethnic diversity can be highlighted via banners, signage, and events. • Façade & Infrastructure Improvements
o Create incentive programs for exterior refresh and modernization. o Continue outdoor dining momentum post-COVID.
• City-Dealer Collaboration
o Flexibility on dealership site constraints (e.g., tents, structures). o City can lead with “support local” model (e.g., fleet services). • Business Support Resources
o Establish ambassador role for tenant onboarding and red tape navigation. o Offer small business tools (planning, financing, operational support).
Threats
• Crime & Homelessness
o Ongoing break-ins and visible homelessness downtown affect customer experience and leasing.
• Utility & Infrastructure Delays
o PG&E and transformer-related delays create cost and timeline uncertainty. • Aging Retail Assets
o Sun Valley Mall, though occupied, faces long-term viability concerns due to age and shifting consumer habits.
• Workforce Pipeline Collapse
o Lack of youth entering automotive trades presents a looming crisis. • Regulatory Burden
o Heavy regulations on creative dealership structures hinder adaptive responses. • Outsourcing by City
o Perceived misalignment when City outsources services (e.g., fleet repair), undermining “support local” ethos.
Mismatches Between Zoning and Market Needs
The following mismatches between current zoning and market needs were noted as fieldwork was performed.
§ Sun Valley zoned Regional Commercial and should be changed to high-density mixed-use – close to freeway
§ West Concord Mixed-use should be changed to encourage higher density – close to freeway
§ Monument/Oak Grove should be changed to encourage a denser development pattern while still emphasizing convenience retail
§ Clayton/Treat should be changed to encourage a denser development pattern while still emphasizing convenience retail
§ Vineyard Shopping Center should be changed to encourage residential with some street- facing specialty retail shop space in reasonable quantity or more of a village format like Waterford in Dublin
§ Willow Pass between 680 and 242 needs to be less broken up and self-contained large individual projects, and more of something integrated…maybe a PP or SP?
Retail Analysis
For purposes of evaluating Concord’s retail market, the following narrative will be based on the nodes noted on the following map:

Sales Tax Reporting Geographies
Based on fieldwork and review of existing geographies, no changes to the existing sales tax reporting geographies is recommended. While it might be nice to see, for example, the Monument and Oak Grove geography without Costco, that data point is easily calculated by breaking out the single Costco store from the aggregate results for that particular node.
Sales Tax Trends by NAICS for the City and for Each Sub-area
The following chart shows results for major retail categories in Concord for the period 2019-2024:
Source: HdL, Greensfelder Real Estate Strategy
Of the major categories listed here (excluding Autos and Transportation), only General Consumer Goods fell between 2019 and 2024. This result is not surprising given that e-commerce grew at a rapid rate during this same period, a rate that accelerated rapidly because of Covid, and e- commerce has the greatest success selling commodities such as those sold in general merchandise stores. It is also helpful to look at the same data but from a geographic perspective.
The automotive sector was down over the period while, consistent with retail patterns over the pandemic, the home and furniture, and food (for consumption at home and for consumption away from home) categories were significantly up.
Of the various geographic shopping areas, the standout performance changes between 2019 and 2024 are Sunvalley which was down ~25%, Monument Blvd. which was up ~10%, and The Veranda which was up ~20%. Lease-up activities along Monument Blvd. and The Veranda explain those results. The Sunvalley result is particularly notable given store closures during the pandemic (see the 2019 vs. 2020 results), and the center never fully recovering.

Health and Performance Check
Following is an analysis of the competitive position including location, tenant mix, physical characteristics, and recommendations S/M/L-term)
for six nodes that were identified for in-depth
study: Monument and Oak Grove, Terminal Shopping Center, Downtown Concord, Park and Shop, Sun Valley Mall, and Vineyard Shopping Center. Note that this data was generated in the first quarter of 2025. Some natural market evolution occurs (eg. some businesses open or close, or economic conditions cause spikes or troughs in data) from time to time between the time data is pulled and the date a report is published. Also, because of the way data is aggregated to protect privacy, it should be noted that this data set cannot show us precisely where someone might start a
trip; instead the area from which visitors to a destination is expressed as a blob as seen on the following maps.
The following chart summarizes key data these five nodes of interest:
Source: Greensfelder Real Estate Strategy, Placer.ai
The most recent year over year performance for each node is generally negative while the most recent year over three years ago shows rebound from the pandemic for all properties except for Terminal Shopping Center. Monument and Oak Grove has more visits and more visit frequency than any of the other nodes including Sunvalley, and almost as long a dwell time as Sunvalley.
Probably owing to being the largest full-service supermarket in the area, Vineyard has the next highest visit frequency.
The following two charts show the days of the week and times of day that each of the five nodes are most visited:

Questions and Additional Analysis
Through the process of producing this report, GRES and Strategic Economics were asked a number of questions. Following are key questions and brief responses to each:
1. How do young consumers interact with retail space?
Reframing this question to ask how generally do consumers interact with retail in today’s world will result in a more informative answer not only about young consumers, but about how Concord’s retail generally fits in fits into the East Bay retail ecosystem.
The Evolution of Retail
In some respects, retail has never been more diverse, and consumers have never had more options readily at their fingertips. How retail is being conducted and how consumers behave are in the midst of a sea change. Examining how shopping centers and “Main Street” or “Downtown” retail districts are evolving, how on-line shopping continues to evolve, and how the landlord-tenant relationship is evolving help to explain how retail goods and services are consumed and how they will be consumed going forward and offering insights into the future of retail and vibrant and sustainable commercial districts.
The driving forces behind current retail evolution remain a combination of bricks-and-mortar consolidation and the expansion of e-commerce. But how did we get here? In the early 20th century, cars were a rarity. Most towns and cities had downtown districts that served as the community’s commercial hub and were characterized by a massing of retail that evolved to serve the community’s needs. Towns often had their own homegrown department stores that sold a wide variety of goods. Well-known examples of these include Emporium and May Co. on the West Coast, Dayton’s and Marshall Field in the Midwest, and Filene’s and Macy’s in the Northeast. These were department stores in the truest sense, having separate departments under one roof for a variety of goods including clothing and shoes, electronics, housewares, books and records, pets, home goods, and the like.
When retail was clustered in a downtown or town square environment, there was not a need for today’s ubiquitous suburban shopping center, but then, in the 1950’s, the by-then commonplace automobile enabled a trend towards suburbanization. The need (perhaps more accurately, induced demand) for shopping centers was born. Over a period of time, shopping centers and regional malls replaced downtown shopping districts in the increasingly decentralized urban landscape.
As the advent of shopping centers and malls began to erode the downtown shopping districts’ market share, discounters began to erode traditional department store market share. Wal-Mart and K-Mart started nationwide expansions. Even traditional department store companies began to enter this market, perhaps the most notable example being Dayton-Hudson’s Target division (it’s not difficult to understand why Dayton Hudson renamed itself Target in 2000). At the same time, the suburban regional mall would often be anchored by department store chains that expanded their market share by focusing on suburbs.
The next step in the evolution away from traditional department stores was the advent of retailers who became more efficient by specializing in a particular “department.” Clustered together in what have come to be known as power centers, these “big box” and “category killer” stores were more convenient, focused, and offered a wide variety of merchandise within a specific category, typically a commodity category such as electronics, office supply books, pet, etc. These chains developed supply and distribution advantages by focusing narrowly on a single category, and as a result was better able to offer everyday low prices. They also started killing off the departments in department stores. In-turn, department stores increased their focus on soft goods, thereby limiting the overall variety of merchandise and giving the consumer fewer reasons to visit.
Like many businesses, department store chains began to consolidate in order to increase scale, decrease expenses, and maintain competitiveness … or simply to avoid going out of business altogether. By extension, the number and variety of regional mall anchor tenants contracted, and by the 1990’s the contraction and consolidation trend of regional malls was in full swing. In some instances, even traditional department stores (Kohl’s being one example) began to abandon malls and join the category killers in power centers. With fewer anchors, so-called “category killer” tenants finding each other in power centers, and the advent of the exurb, fewer and fewer truly successful regional malls and even fewer downtown shopping districts remained, and this is the phenomenon with which Concord grapples today as the City asks on which retail and economic development strategies it should focus today.
Each mature community’s retail offering organizes and calibrates itself to local demand, and each community’s commercial strategy must be calibrated for a variety of local conditions including the local real estate market, consumer demographics, changes in consumption patterns, community vision, perspective and capabilities of property owners and tenants, a city’s available resources, available public-private partnership (P3) resources, and other factors.
Any strategy should be clear, deliberate, and most importantly should differentiate the subject area from other destinations.
Commodity and Specialty Retail
Understanding the distinction between commodity and specialty retail, and how they lend themselves to the analysis of and any recommendations related to various retail projects and districts will be extremely useful. As a prelude, the shopping behaviors exhibited at Target or Safeway whose stores generally sell commodities are much different than behaviors in, say, Bonobos, whose stores are generally specialty in nature.
In today’s world, it’s better not to think about retail as “box stores” or “malls,” but instead to distinguish between commodity retail uses and specialty retail uses4. In its simplest form, commodity retailers sell the goods and services that we use every day, while specialty retailers sell what we splurge on. Because the factors that maximize performance (ie. vibrance, resilience, and, of course, sales) of commodity retail projects and specialty retail districts are so different, we seek to clearly differentiate each in our analysis and strategic recommendations.
The goods commodity retailers sell generally are the same regardless of the origin of purchase.
A cell phone or a reusable water bottle, for example, are the same regardless of whether purchased from an airport vending machine, a store, or online. For this reason, they are purchased with the trade-off between price and convenience being the primary decision- making function for the consumer who is asking the question, “Do I need it right now, or can I 4 The idea of commodity and specialty retail was originally described in the Urban Land Institute’s Professional Real Estate Development handbook.
wait and get a better price?” An emotional connection to the purchase is not a part of this equation.
In contrast, specialty goods and services involve allocating discretionary income (i.e., income not earmarked for necessities like shelter or groceries) and discretionary time (i.e., time not devoted to required activities like work or school). Because discretionary income and time are limited, we have more of an emotional connection to how we allocated these scarce resources.
For this reason, the physical environment, and a sense of place in which these purchases are made, become increasingly important. When we go out for a "white tablecloth" dinner, we prefer a High Street or a Lifestyle Center's neighborhood (location) and environment (improvements or facilities) to a quick-serve restaurant located on the outparcel of a big-box retail store or a power center.
It is important to understand that retailers and service providers are not strictly commodity or specialty in nature; they can straddle the line and be both. By extension, it is important to remember that commodity and specialty retail describes shopping behaviors as much, and perhaps more, than it describes a specific retailer or service provider. For example, all of the products sold in an Apple store strictly fall under the definition of commodities; the products are the same regardless of where we get them. That said, Apple has carefully curated its brand and their stores are designed to maximize “retail theater.” Similarly, the majority of the SKU’s in a Whole Foods store are commodities; however, Whole Foods continues to add specialty and prepared foods to its in-store offerings with some Whole Foods having restaurants and the on- sale (sale for consumption on-site) of alcoholic beverages. We shop the Apple Store much differently than we might shop for electronics at Costco or Walmart, and while we might buy commodities at Whole Foods, we often take advantage of offerings that are not readily available at a Safeway supermarket. Like the attention to branding and retail theater, both Apple and Whole Foods have a level of fit and finish meant to elicit a more emotional connection than we have at competing retailers. It is important to think about all of these factors when deciding if a retailer is commodity or specialty in nature, or about the sort of consumer behaviors that will be created when such a store opens. The same retailer might be either depending upon context or location. Do the project's location, neighborhood, customer
base, and traffic patterns lend themselves more to commodity or specialty purchasing behaviors?
Some department stores including Macy’s, Sears, and JC Penney have evolved away from their all-things-under-one-roof model to now more closely resemble commodity retailers. In other words, their product offerings are less distinguishable from what could be purchased in a variety of other places and through a variety of retail channels, and their fortunes as retail powerhouses have similarly waned. Furthermore, with the exception of chains such as Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus and the like, department stores have ceased to distinguish themselves for their service and environment. With the homogenization of department stores has come the demise of many regional malls, Sunvalley potentially among them. Certainly, there are many high-performing malls including Cherry Creek in Denver and Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, but there are far more that are the process of falling by or have already fallen by the wayside.
Emerging Retail Trends
The retail industry is now undergoing another round of consolidation and restructuring that represents a further evolution of prior industry trends. While smaller downtown and neighborhood shopping centers continue to lose their commodity retailers – like groceries, pharmacies, and electronics stores – many of the nation’s malls and lifestyle centers are similarly struggling to retain their commodity-oriented anchors – including many of the major department stores that have failed to differentiate themselves from the likes of Macy’s, Sears, and J. C. Penney. Either means the loss of vehicle and foot traffic, but at the same time it may be an opportunity for retailers that operate in downtowns or on so-called High Streets.
At the outset, online retailing was best suited to the purchase of commodities, and this still applies today. Part of the reason is that when buying online, buyers cannot inspect the product in the same way that they can at a brick-and-mortar establishment, giving bricks-and-mortar an advantage for the sale of specialty goods for which there is a greater emotional attachment.
Put differently, we’re less concerned about touching and feeling a water bottle than we are new clothing.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, most buyers were still visiting brick and mortar stores for more urgent purchases, as the shipment of products purchased online could take days or weeks to arrive. Covid-19 forced supply chains to streamline, and (excepting supply chain shocks such as this month’s port backup) shipping is less of a barrier to access than before. With the
development of robust private logistics networks such as Amazon Prime, online retailers have broken down many of the convenience barriers that once limited their scope to commodities, and increasingly they are making headway into specialty goods. Platforms, however, still struggle to replace “atmosphere” and “place,” so they are trying to level the playing field by investing and innovating in artificial intelligence and other technologies that allow consumers some in-store benefits while shopping on-line.
As noted earlier, consumers shop differently for commodity as opposed to for specialty retail goods. This change is occurring so rapidly that a further explanation of specialty retail that takes into account how specialty goods are sought and consumed is in order. Consider the following graph showing the percent of retail sales that are generated through e-commerce:
Source: US Census Bureau, 2025. https://www.census.gov/retail/mrts/www/data/pdf/ec_current.pdf
In short, consumption of specialty goods is increasingly being driven both by online marketplaces, or platforms, and by influencers. Retail isn’t dying, it has reoriented to more efficient platforms that give consumers one-stop comparison shopping and is as or more robust and diversified than at any time in memory. What’s new is that specialty goods that have traditionally been purchased through brick-and-mortar retail channels are also increasingly being purchased through on-line channels once reserved for commodity goods. For example, the Canadian e-commerce platform Shopify started in 2004. As of today, it works with over 1,700,000 sellers [https://www.shopify.ca/about]. Today, there are over 6 million Amazon third- party sellers worldwide, accounting for approximately 50% of total units sold [https://www.marketplacepulse.com/stats/amazon].
The range of commodities sold through platforms continues to increase and box stores continue to consolidate as consumers perfect their price-convenience function, often in favor of platforms. Examples range from electronics to office supplies. Produce boxes ordered online represent an increasingly popular method of purchasing perishables, an alternative to a traditional grocery channel. The Covid-19 pandemic ushered in an era of significantly increased online grocery shopping. Specialty goods are increasingly moving to non-bricks- and-mortar retail platforms through services such as Trunk Club, Bonobos, and the Real Real.
Even food and beverage is being consumed through apps like Uber Eats, GoldBelly, and BeyondMenu -- another platform that saw a significant increase in adoption because of Covid-
19. One factor in particular driving on -line sales of specialty goods is the ability to research and order on-line, combined with an increased ease of picking-up and returning goods through other retail channels. The line between on-line and bricks-and-mortar continues to blur as evidenced by BOPIS (buy online, pick-up in-store) and free returns strategies and other strategies intended to have consumers use both on-line and bricks-and-mortar as part of their goods acquisition strategies. Best Buy, Warby Parker, and macys.com are good examples of the later.
Retail is now conducted through many channels (e.g., traditional stores, catalogs, on-line, via mobile devices, television, etc.). A November 2012 “Shopping Centers Today” article summarizes omnichannel nicely: “The idea is to favor no single retail channel (brick-and-mortar, mobile phone, catalogs) but instead to sell things to people whenever, wherever and however they want. Omnichannel retail is about providing a uniform experience and top-notch service in every exchange with the customer.”
Omnichannel consumers frequently use more than one channel simultaneously. For example, a consumer might do research using a price check app or looking up product reviews while looking at a product in a traditional retail store. Likewise, omnichannel retailers will track customers across the various channels they utilize (catalog and on-line shopping, or on-line and mobile shopping for example) increasing sale opportunities and more precisely targeting marketing. Social media provides an opportunity to build relationships with consumers by constructing a detailed customer profile and capitalizing on merchandising and advertising initiatives.
Omnichannel strategies work differently for commodity as opposed to specialty retailers. For example, multiple retail channels might be used by a consumer to research and assist in purchasing a particular commodity like a television, or to push out or target a promotion. By
contrast, a specialty retailer might use omni-channel strategies to drive customer traffic to a brick-and-mortar store, restaurant, or shopping district. Consumers don’t seek channels, they seek solutions: either a retailer satisfies a need or it doesn’t. When doing long-range planning for a retail district or city, it is important to think in terms of meeting the customer where the customer already is. Strategies to accomplish this outreach can be developed by individual retailers, property owners, and economic development professionals.
In addition to evolving shopping habits, consumers are interested in what their peers and friends are buying, and not buying. When an “influencer” buys, endorses, or rejects a product, that message can have a wide-ranging impact, particularly when the influencer has a wide social network. This phenomenon is particularly true with consumables like beauty products.
Social commerce also has particular significance for the resale market where, for example, someone might put or see something on-line, and then tell their friends about it…creating hype.
Discussion and Implications for Retail Strategy
The real estate implications are far reaching. It is no surprise that box stores are on the wane as commodities are being purchased through different channels than in the past. On the one hand, platforms directly refute the idea of retail Armageddon. On the other, a decrease in demand for bricks-and-mortar retail space is leaving cities to grapple with decreased sales tax revenues (although the South Dakota vs. Wayfair, Inc. decision significantly leveled that playing field). Retail projects are increasingly being rethought and repurposed, sometimes as part of retail pruning strategies. Examples include malls becoming mixed-use projects, educational campuses, or adding residential components. Chains on their own or in partnerships are increasingly recognizing the value of their physical locations as last-mile distribution nodes as is evidenced by Kohl’s driving additional foot traffic to its stores by accepting and packaging Amazon returns at no cost.
A final, and possibly most important, implication for malls and shopping centers is the redefinition of the location-Location-LOCATION maxim. We are not suggesting that location is no longer important for retail, however, “beacons” are changing from traditional monument signs to influencers and social media. For example, reviews on Yelp and Google Maps drive bricks-and-mortar visits, often to locations other than at the traditional highest trafficked intersections. Traditional retailers and cities alike need to find new and better beacons than
traditional signage for consumers to find and patronize their stores and shopping districts, and to continue to compete effectively in an even more competitive and fluid retail environment.
So, what does this history-of-retail and retail trends discussion portend for Concord? The answer, simply put, is the urgent need to differentiate nostalgia from market realities. Sunvalley Shopping Center isn’t again going to be what it was in its heyday, and the City’s empty or underutilized retail boxes aren’t suddenly going to refill. The market has simply evolved from the time that retail came into maturity in Concord. This reality isn’t necessarily a negative; it merely points to the need for a bricks-and-mortar retail strategy that is right-sized for today’s market, one that doesn’t confuse quantity (ie. square feet) with quality (ie. productivity, or footfalls and sales per square foot). Non-retail uses such as medical uses that operate in traditionally retail environments and generate footfalls also generate cross-shopping activity and increase sales at adjacent retailers. Repurposing empty boxes as housing means that non- productive retail space is replaced with new residents who represent demand for the retail that remains. Simply put, less [retail space] is more. The focus should be on a strategic retaik pruning strategy (discussed more below), vibrance, and resilience of the best retail space and not trying to recreate a real estate and consumer market whose time has long passed.
2. How do Concord’s demographics impact its retail performance? Demographics are an important indicator of retail performance, but Concord-specific demographics are probably a better indicator of daily-needs retail performance than either destination commodity (ie. big box) or specialty retail performance. The reason for this is that daily needs are typically purchased more closely to home than destination commodity or specialty. The later are more a function of competing retail alternatives and traffic patterns.
The traffic patterns are especially important because Concord is extremely well located along the I-680 and Hwy. 4 corridors, and many people living in Pittsburgh through Discovery Bay transit through Concord on their daily commutes.
The following table shows some key demographic information for Concord and other nearby cities that are in Sunvalley Shopping Center’s primary trade area:
Of these cities, Concord has the lowest per-capita income (an important measure of spending power), and the third-lowest education level (education, earning potential, and spending being highly correlated). This data implies that Concord’s retail success has and should continue to reply on a strategy of being a convenient shopping alternative for people transiting through Concord, and having destination commodity retail and specialty retail uses located so that they are easy to access by people driving from other nearby communities and transiting through Concord.
3. What role does adaptive reuse play in retail space in Concord? We all see the “retail Armageddon” headlines when a well-known retailer announces that it is closing stores. What often gets lost in this story is that stores are also are being opened, with the net impact varying by categories, time frame, and definitions used by sources. What is definitive is that many retailers are adjusting their total footprints to fit the new market. The United States has long supported retail-space-per-capita levels that were actually multiples of what exists in other developed countries. As shopping center developer observed, “There are lots of poor-quality centers and retail districts that have no reason to exist other than tenant demand at the time they were built.”
A new equilibrium with fewer square feet of retail space per capita is being established as the amount of space devoted to malls, shopping centers, and retail districts declines, with unneeded retail space being repurposed or replaced. In turn, these can be seen as creating new opportunities for a range of other activities. In addition to retailer retooling to better meet consumer needs and closing locations that no longer make sense in this new retail environment, and big-box and department stores reducing their footprints as they balance the
value of their brick-and-mortar presence and its relationship to their online presence, this new equilibrium poses important questions about what sort of adaptive reuse strategies (ie. reuse from retail to other non-retail uses) should be adopted by communities like Concord across the US.
4. How do we address neighborhood shopping center that all seem to have one “crater” in them? This phenomenon is not indicative of a community’s worth or relative value proposition vis a vis other communities. In fact, most communities are facing similar challenges. So, the first step in addressing the craters in Concord shopping centers is to acknowledge that they exist because of structural changes in how consumers purchase goods that has resulted in a lack of demand for the amount of space and there simply being fewer anchors than there were decades ago (cf. “…centers and retail districts that have no reason to exist other than tenant demand at the time they were built”).
The next step is to focus on adaptive new equilibrium strategies for repurposing space that is no longer needed into productive assets that, among other things, will likely represent demand for the remaining retail. Nearby Fremont articulated just this sort of thinking when it adopted its General Plan 2030 in 2011 and included the following policies that support converting excess retail to residential uses:
Land Use Policy 2-4.6: Support the adaptive reuse, renovation, or redevelopment of older shopping centers or commercial uses that are no longer viable due to changing market conditions, demographics, or retail trends. Such reuse or redevelopment should be planned to help sustain other retail centers in the City, provide opportunities for more intense housing and civic or group assembly uses while ensuring that residents continue to have convenient access to goods and services...recognize that some "pruning back" of existing retail space may be needed in Fremont.
Economic Development Implementation 6-2.3B: Includes a plan for the City to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of underperforming retail centers and to support rezoning of such centers to other uses as appropriate, based upon evidence justifying the conversion, such as high vacancy rates, poor center sales, and/or lack of reinvestment.
It is strongly recommended that Concord develop a similar strategy of identifying and rezoning retail centers that represent excess retail space, and parallel strategies to encourage the
remaining viable tenants to relocate to the more viable remaining retail districts, creating fewer but more vibrant retail districts that will be more productive and better serve both Concord residents and those visiting or transiting through Concord.
5. How much retail is realistic for the City? Can the City support as much retail [space] as it currently has?
Calculating a supportable amount of retail space for the community is a complicated task that, if done properly, would look at each retail category independently. In addition to being difficult to execute, it’s quite likely that this sort of calculation doesn’t really give significantly more actionable information that can readily be seen on the ground in Concord. Put differently, existing retail vacancies (ie. the “craters” referred to in Question 4) answer part of this question, and then more nuanced thought needs to be given to whether other vacancies are endemic or natural turnover. This sort of a study could be a follow-on strategy to this report.
6. How can the City incentivize commuters to stop in Concord for shopping needs? The answer is a combination of creating a compelling retail offering that is convenient for commuters, particularly going-home commuters, and creating an aware ness campaign. The later should be part of a larger branding campaign that articulates why Concord is a unique, differentiated shopping environment as compared with other nearby alternatives (eg. Your convenient place to shop or some play on Park and Shop which is a well-known place and name).
7. How does Concord compete with nearby shopping areas? East County has shopping options in East County, and 680 corridor residents living south of Concord have some alternatives depending on what it is for which they are looking, and how important it is to have a cluster of retailers in one place. As noted in the answers to earlier questions, the answer lies at the intersection of creating a more vibrant and differentiated retail environment, with particular focus on destination commodity and specialty retail that is convenient for people living outside of Concord, people looking for a variety of commodity retailers in the same retailer category, and people commuting through the City.
8. How do we make Concord shopping centers feel more connected and serve as gateways?
Shopping areas only serve as gateways if they are actually located at a gateway to the City.
Sunvalley and The Willows and Veranda are examples of such centers. In reality Concord retail is dispersed throughout the City, so it is recommended to address other strategies raised here and individual district-targeted strategies (eg. for Monument/Oak Grove) before spending significant effort pursuing a connecting strategy. A PBID might be something to consider when developing these shopping district-specific strategies (eg. for Downtown).
9. How can the City better and more efficiently use a TBID to support commercial activity? Should a business improvement district be implemented Downtown or elsewhere in the City? Advising on BID’s are beyond the scope of this report, but as a high-level answer to these questions, the right approach is to develop strategies, and then let those strategies lead to the question of whether a BID is an approach that will help execute the larger strategy/lead to success. TBID’s don’t always have the same teeth as a PBID, but looking to successful TBID’s may give ideas about both structures and what can be accomplished. San Mateo’s Downtown San Mateo Association would be a good place to start looking.
10. What can the City do to promote development and reinvestment in shopping centers with long term ownership and limited incentive to push for new development? It can be difficult to promote development and reinvestment in shopping centers with long term ownership for a variety of reasons, not the lease of which is that many of these centers have a low basis meaning that they can offer owners respectable returns even if they aren’t kept up in first class condition or don’t have the most exciting array of tenants. Even if these centers have vacancies, their low basses can mean that they can easily be carried or even produce ample cash flow without being fully leased. There is little the City can do to incent owners of these centers to behave differently other than upzoning the centers to make the land more valuable in an attempt to entire the owners to redevelop or sell to a developer. Other tools include direct negotiation with owners and active code enforcement as a way to make clear that the City is unhappy with how the center is being managed.

Three Year Action Plan (2026-2029) to Implement
The Economic Development Strategic Plan
This document identifies priority tasks that City staff will focus on over the next three years to implement the Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP). Each task below is listed under the EDSP goal to which it applies. Following each task listed below is a list of actions within the EDSP that it implements.
Goal 1: Provide Exceptional Services through Expanded Partnerships and Capacity
Task A: Create an Economic Advisory Group (EAG).
Convene the EAG on a quarterly basis to discuss economic trends and develop responsive actions that the City can take.
Initial topics to be discussed with the EAG include what zoning or other regulatory changes would support more construction-related business development in North Concord and elsewhere in Concord as appropriate, what actions the City can take to address high vacancies, and methods to support cleanliness and safety concerns impacting businesses in Concord.
Addresses EDSP Action Items 1.1.1, 1.1.2
Task B: Form a Property Business Improvement District (PBID) for downtown Concord.
Engage a district formation consultant for Todos Santos Plaza and the surrounding downtown area
Work with property and business owners and the consultant to determine goals, draft boundaries, and estimate assessment revenue. Bring PBID formation to City Council as an agenda item to initiate proceedings, conduct a public hearing, and formalize adoption.
Manage the contract with the consultant to ensure the project timeline correlates with required deadlines of the Assessor’s Office. Typically, PBID formation takes 8-12 months to complete.
Addresses EDSP Action Item 1.2.1, 2.6.1
Goal 2: Enhance Concord’s Business Environment
Attachment 3
Task C: Proactively enhance the business environment and seek tenants to fill vacancies, with an emphasis on new target industries, specifically healthcare and construction and construction-related industries. Working with the EAG, facilitate the leasing and rehabilitation of struggling properties. Office:
o Identify and attract medical offices and specialties that are synergistic and supportive of current healthcare businesses in Concord. o Continue to closely monitor leasing deals and corporate expansion plans and demonstrate City support when appropriate.
Retail:
o Create strategies to support the rehabilitation of retail centers with significant vacancies or declining sales tax revenue. Initial properties of focus: Terminal Shopping Center, Bel Air Shopping Center, and Vineyard Shopping Center.
o Continue to conduct outreach to Taubman-Simon to encourage and facilitate the reimagining of Sunvalley Shopping Center to position it for long-term success.
Industrial:
o Identify and attract companies in construction or other related industries that would benefit from proximity to an existing network of suppliers. o Given Concord’s future development of the Concord Naval Weapons Station and involvement in regional initiatives like the Green Empowerment Zone and Northern Waterfront Initiative, pursue innovation-oriented uses like autonomous technologies and clean energy.
Addresses EDSP Action Items 2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.2.4, 2.3.1, 2.3.3 Task D: Implement business-friendly changes to City processes and regulations, making it possible to attract and retain a wide range of businesses. Office:
o Identify select zoning districts where office vacancy is high and consider regulatory modifications that support creative reuses including housing.
o Research and consider incentives and policies that reduce costs and process barriers for redevelopment of vacant or underused office buildings.
Retail:
o Evaluate whether zoning, fees, and parking requirements should be adjusted to enable diversification and flexibility of uses at shopping centers.
o Evaluate whether medical office uses should be allowed in the Downtown Pedestrian Zoning District and review other zoning districts to determine if regulations should be modified to support development of medical office uses.
o Utilize the EAG to identify City process and regulatory barriers to retail investment and work with Council to consider modifications. Industrial:
o Consider changes to zoning standards in industrial zones to allow outdoor storage with conditional approval to ensure appearance standards are met.
Addresses EDSP Action Items 2.2.2, 2.2.3, 2.2.4, 2.2.5, 2.3.1, 2.3.3, 2.3.4, 2.3.5,
2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.6.2
Goal 3: Establish a Brand Identity for Concord
Task E: Develop a brand identity and marketing strategy focused on business attraction that is targeted to key industry sectors and focuses on key assets of the City.
Before implementing marketing strategies, continue to support the beautification of gateways by working closely with Public Works, Capital Improvements, private property owners, and other parties as necessary. Participate in events that create opportunities for staff to meet industry leaders and decision makers in the EDSP target industries of medical, construction, and clean energy, to facilitate sharing Concord’s strengths and establish relationships as part of the effort to recruit their companies to Concord. Develop messaging and create marketing materials specifically for target industries.
Update the Concord First website (the City’s economic development marketing landing page), to align content with the EDSP target industries.
Addresses EDSP Action Item 2.7.3, 2.7.4, 3.1.1
Task F: Increase capacity for marketing initiatives by leveraging the resources of Visit Concord (the City’s Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID)), and the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce.
Convene staff from the City of Concord Economic Development Division, the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce, and Visit Concord bi-monthly to coordinate marketing efforts.
Encourage Visit Concord to incorporate findings and action items from the EDSP, such as promoting the diversity of restaurants and specialty grocery stores in Concord, into its brand identity and marketing strategies. Support Visit Concord in promoting Concord as a regional destination.
Addresses EDSP Action Items 1.4.6, 3.2.1, 3.2.2
Task G: Enhance City-produced and sponsored events to strengthen regional visibility, the success of Concord’s existing businesses, and engagement within the downtown area.
Proactively consult with downtown stakeholders to assess the impacts of existing events on businesses and identify strategies to maximize the positive economic and community benefits they bring. Building on this feedback, enhance City-produced and co-sponsored events in a manner that strengthens downtown’s regional visibility and supports existing businesses. Develop outreach and marketing that draws new visitors from surrounding communities to downtown Concord.
Encourage privately funded Special Events.

Commodity
retail is what
we use every
day, and
specialty retail
is what we
splurge on.
14 Commodity and Specialty Retail
• Driving forces affecting Concord:
✓ Expansion of e-commerce
✓ Commodities are being purchased through different channels ✓ Bricks-and-mortar consolidation because demand for physical stores has decreased, and
✓ Box stores are on the wane.
• There is no retail Armageddon, and there is still demand for specialty retail space.
15 Key Retail Findings…Trends
• Concord's experience with vacancies (esp. vacant boxes) isn't unique. • Vacancies exist because of structural changes in how consumers purchase goods.
• Some areas require reinvestment, modernization.
• Think about strategic pruning of underperforming and poorly positioned retail space.
• Focus on adaptive new equilibrium strategies.
16 Key Retail Findings…Concord Retail
• Ethnic diversity
• Fragmented ownership
• Sunvalley Shopping Center
• Four Corners (Monument/Oak
Grove)
17 Key Retail Findings…
• Concord’s diverse retail/dining/entertainment is successful because:
• Concord is a convenient shopping alternative
• Key projects have good visibility, access, and traffic volumes • Create a differentiated retail offering:
• Convenient for commuters (going-home)
• Unique, differentiated, alternative environment
• Awareness campaign tied to vision/brand
18 Concord Retail Strategy
• Incent different owner behaviors
• Upzone to make land more valuable
• Density bonuses for design compliance
• Active code enforcement
• Direct negotiation with owners
• Vision/brand to guide marketing
19 Concord Retail Strategy – City's Tools
An experience good is a good or
service that is not valued until it is
experienced.
Concord retail needs to be
differentiated from other places.
• Diversity of offerings,
• Well curated, and
• Inviting place and amenities.
20 Experience Goods
and Differentiation
• A vision statement should be forward looking and aspirational. • It is the basis for defining Concord's retail brand.
• A well-reasoned argument about the risks and benefits of opening and operating a store in Concord.
• It is important to know how to tell a story about Concord. • Key retail destinations present an opportunity for retailers. • Explain each area from a differentiation perspective. 21 Vision and Telling the Story

Subject: Considering adopting a Resolution, amending Policy and Procedure No. 2 and establishing the day of the week and the number of Council meetings per month, as set forth in the attached 2026 City Council meeting calendar.
Report in Brief
The City Council (Council) has historically met on the first, second, and fourth Tuesday of each month for Council meetings (meetings). Meetings are cancelled when they conflict with City of Concord Holidays. Additionally, the Council historically takes a break from meetings for one month during the summer, allowing Councilmembers to take vacations without missing meetings.
Trends suggest that the current schedule may be more frequent than necessary to conduct City business effectively, so the City Council is being requested to adopt a Resolution amending Policy and Procedure No 2 and establishing the day of the week and the number of meetings per month for Council meetings by approving the 2026 City Council meeting calendar.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 6.b
December 2, 2025
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution amending Policy and Procedure No. 2 and establishing the day of the week and the number of meetings per month that Council will convene as set forth in the attached 2026 City Council meeting calendar.
Background
The City Council has historically met on the first, second, and fourth Tuesday of each month. Meetings are cancelled when they conflict with City holidays. Historically, the City Council takes a break from meetings for one month during the summer to allow City Councilmembers time to take vacations without missing meetings.
In 2025, City Council meetings consistently concluded at reasonable times, and four regularly scheduled meetings were cancelled due to light agendas. These trends suggest that the current schedule may be more frequent than necessary to conduct City business effectively.
Analysis
Staff recommends that beginning in 2026, as a pilot program, the Council hold two regular meetings per month, on the second and fourth Tuesdays. The proposed adjustment provides several benefits:
• Creates efficiencies for staff: preparing for and attending each Council meeting requires significant staff work. Holding fewer meetings, as current demand is allowing, will enable more productive use of staff time. • Decreases staff overtime: fewer meeting nights reduces the need for paid overtime by hourly staff from multiple departments and reduces the number of extra hours worked by management staff, allowing resources to be redirected toward project delivery and community services.
• Reflects recent meeting trends: over the past year, most meetings concluded by approximately 9 p.m., and four scheduled meetings were canceled due to limited agenda items, demonstrating capacity to manage City business effectively with fewer meetings.
• Maintains flexibility: the Mayor, in coordination with the City Manager, retains authority to call special meetings at any time should Council business or community priorities require additional attention.
• Pilot with option to revert: if the two meetings a month schedule proves inadequate, or leads to meetings running very late, Council may easily revert to three monthly meetings through adoption of a new resolution. • Consistent with regional practice: all of the other cities in Contra Costa County conduct only two regular Council meetings per month, except for Richmond which meets three times per month, indicating this is a widely accepted and efficient governance practice.
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 6.b
December 2, 2025
• Simplifies public understanding: a consistent, twice-monthly meeting schedule is easier for residents to follow, supporting transparency and predictable public participation.
The proposed 2026 meeting calendar of two meetings a month also maintains the long- standing practice of cancelling meetings that coincide with major holidays, as well as providing a summer recess in July. With the proposed schedule, there would no longer be a conflict with National Night Out, which historically has been in conflict with the Council’s meeting schedule.
Alternatives
The City Council could choose to maintain the current meeting schedule of the first, second, and fourth Tuesdays each month (Attachment 4). This option would preserve the existing level of meeting availability but will require additional staff time and overtime. Maintaining three meetings per month would ensure maximum flexibility for Council deliberations but may result in less efficient use of staff and Council resources given recent trends in meeting length and cancellations.
Financial Impact
There is no negative fiscal impact anticipated to converting to a more traditional two- meetings per month Council meeting schedule. A reduction in the number of regular meetings will result in cost savings related to staff time, overtime, agenda preparation, and meeting logistics.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING PROCEDURES
1. PURPOSE
To provide a procedural guide for the conduct of City Council meetings, including the preparation of agendas and minutes.
2. BACKGROUND
The City Council convenes regular and special meetings to conduct its business in accordance with California's open meeting law (the Brown Act, Government Code Section 54950 et seq.). A range of business matters come regularly before the City Council, including items requiring public discussion or a public hearing, routine items requiring formal action, and information items. To further the public interest, the City Council determines that it must focus its time and attention on the consideration of policy items, delegating to City staff those matters of an administrative nature. The City Council therefore sets forth herein a methodology for the expeditious and proper handling of City Council meetings, and for preparation of agendas and minutes. In the event of any conflict between these local procedures and State law, the provisions of State law shall govern. Except when prohibited by law or by a specific provision of this policy requiring a supermajority vote, the City Council by majority vote may waive or modify any of the procedural rules contained herein.
3. CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS

The Council agenda may reserve around 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. for non-hearing items, including closed sessions and study sessions. No public hearing shall commence before 6:00 p.m.
No public hearing shall commence after 10:00 p.m. without a majority vote of the City Council. No new items may be heard after 11:00 p.m. without a majority vote of the City Council.
