Opportunities

The City of Oakland's real estate market offers excellent investment opportunities in office, industrial, retail and housing.  The time is now to get in on the ground floor of the Bay Area's best kept secret!

Mayor Ron Dellums’s plan to attract 10,000 new residents to Downtown Oakland has set the stage for retailers and residential developers to focus on The City as a new urban market. The office market is also hot due to   spillover from adjacent San Francisco and Silicon Valley markets.  Oakland's significantly lower Class A, B and C rents make it the logical choice for Bay Area companies.

The I-880 Industrial Corridor continues to attract light industrial use, warehouse, and distribution facilities due to Oakland's rapidly expanding Port and Airport.   Recently announced real estate sales by the Port of Oakland create unique opportunities for hotel or regional commercial development. 

The conversion of two major military facilities to private use offer additonal opportunities, adding over 400 acres of new development potential.
