History

The BART Board approved the name "San Leandro" in December 1965. [4] The station opened on September 11, 1972 – part of the first BART line. [2] Due to a national strike that year by elevator constructors, elevator construction on the early stations was delayed. Elevators at most of the initial stations, including San Leandro, were completed in the months following the opening. [5] [6]

Construction of transit-oriented development (TOD) to replace one of the surface parking lots at the station began in late 2014. [7] The project, which included 200 residential units and 6,000 square feet (560 m2) of commercial space, was completed in two phases in 2017 and 2019. [8] [9] :7As of 2024, BART indicates "significant market, local support, and/or implementation barriers" that must be overcome to allow additional TOD on the remaining parking lots at the station. Such development would not begin until at least the mid-2030s. [9] :17
