2635 Peralta St
What made this listing work
1,200-amp, 3-phase power and (3) 1-ton cranes plus a 2-ton crane gave equipment-intensive manufacturing and industrial users functional infrastructure that's increasingly scarce in Oakland's older industrial stock.
Positioned in West Oakland's industrial core alongside 2717 Peralta St, the building sits roughly a mile and a half from the Port of Oakland's container terminals — the fourth-busiest container port in the U.S. — giving industrial users direct access without a freeway haul.
At 19,500 SF, the building offered a single-tenant scale well suited to regional manufacturing, fabrication, or heavy-industrial users who don't need a big-box facility.
A new roof installed in 2024, along with a loading dock and access ramp, gave incoming tenants move-in-ready functional systems rather than deferred capital needs.

West Oakland: The Port of Oakland's Industrial Front Door
2635 Peralta St sits in West Oakland's historic industrial district, immediately adjacent to 2717 Peralta St, in a dense grid of early-20th-century warehouse and manufacturing buildings built to serve the adjacent port and rail yards. The neighborhood's industrial fabric remains the Bay Area's most direct staging ground for goods moving through the Port of Oakland, which handles roughly 99% of all containerized cargo for Northern California.
The location is bounded by two freeways (I-880 and I-980) that connect directly to the Bay Bridge, I-580, and the wider Bay Area freeway network, and sits roughly a mile from West Oakland BART, giving both trucking and commuting employees fast regional access. Despite rezoning pressure elsewhere in Oakland, the blocks immediately around the port remain industrially zoned and utilized.
West Oakland's Mandela Station Breaks Ground, Signaling Long-Term Investment in the District
In February 2026, BART and the City of Oakland began preliminary site work on Mandela Station, a transit-oriented development planned for the West Oakland BART parking lot roughly a mile from 2635 Peralta St. The project calls for 762 residential units, about 300,000 SF of office and life-science space, and ground-floor retail — a signal of continued investment in the district even as the blocks immediately around the port remain industrially zoned and utilized.

How we positioned this listing
The East Bay industrial market has softened meaningfully over the past year — vacancy near 10% in the Oakland submarket and asking rents down double digits year-over-year — which puts a premium on buildings that offer functional, hard-to-replicate infrastructure rather than just square footage. 2635 Peralta St's crane capacity, heavy power service, and recently replaced roof gave it a real edge with manufacturing and heavy-industrial users who need equipment-ready space, and helped return the asset to productive use for ownership in a market where comparable buildings have sat longer on the sidelines.
