The Murdoch Family, owner of the property at Coltart & Forbes in Oakland announced more details about their office/retail project at that location. Will be Eight Stories with retail and office and it seems to be mostly leased out already, which is probably why they announced construction (Pitt w/ four floors and CVS on the ground floor)

What I found interesting is that they are moving the CVS from their other property a block away, which means that the low rise building where CVS is now and the adjacent parking lot will likely be developed soon (as rumored) considering the extremely tight Oakland office market.
That stretch of Forbes in Oakland will have been virtually completely transformed by the time all of the projects are completed. Between the massive Skyvue project, The recently completed Marriott, The large Student Housing Apartments project U/C, the renovation of the Coronado Apartments, the renovation of the smaller office building on Halket and Forbes, the new Coltart project, the UJF building project (next to the Hilton Garden Inn) and the future CVS bldg project and I may be missing some. This does not include any of the Fifth projects and other projects further north and west in Oakland.
I also think that the Eureka Bank location is ripe for development, and needless to say the large-ish parcel Marathon gas station at McKee and Forbes. Eventually UPMC-Magee will develop their parking garage fronting that large stretch of Forbes above ground.
