Pt. Richmond Maritime Centre Announced
Keefe Kaplan Maritime, Inc. (KKMI) announced their plans to offer its 5.1 Acre
waterfront property in Pt. Richmond for sale on a long-term leaseback as part of their
plans to redevelop the property. Located on the Santa Fe Channel, this deep-water
nautical cul-de-sac will serve to become the Bay’s largest and most environmentally
advanced marine center in California.
In addition to KKMI continuing its service and repair operations in Pt. Richmond and
Sausalito, the “Maritime Centre” in Pt. Richmond will include a 10,000 sq. ft. marine
supply store, workshops for the marine trades and boat/yacht sales offices. Plans also
include the construction of a 400 Ton capacity mobile shipyard crane, capable of
providing shipyard services to the Bay’s growing fleet of highspeed ferries.
Ken Keefe, co-founder of KKMI commented, “Following in the footsteps of the sailboat
hardware manufacturer Harken, who recently sold and leased back their manufacturing
facility, we see this as the best long-term strategy for KKMI as well. This will allow us to
remain completely focused on our clients, team members and providing great value to
all.”
“With continued urbanization, particularly with waterfront properties, it’s rare, if not
impossible to find a property that’s more ideal than where KKMI is located.” Said Paul
Kaplan, co-founder. Adding, “KKMI’s commitment to providing a great service
experience includes our world-class facilities. With KKMI’s environmental leadership
and serving as the anchor tenant at the Maritime Centre, our future is secure for
decades to come at such a facility.”
