2717 Peralta St
23,000 SF for lease in Oakland, CA.
Positioned in West Oakland's industrial core, the site 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 distribution and drayage users direct access to marine terminal gates without a freeway haul.
Immediate proximity to I-880 and I-980 puts the building on the primary truck corridor linking the port to the entire Bay Area and Central Valley, with West Oakland BART two blocks away for workforce commuting.
23,000 SF carved from a 110,000 SF masonry building gives a single tenant scale without the overhead of a big-box facility — a fit for regional distribution, light manufacturing, or last-mile logistics operators who don't need 100,000+ SF.
Building-wide service up to 1,600 amps and existing overhead cranes (1-ton and 2-ton capacity) support light industrial or manufacturing use cases that most retrofitted warehouse space in the submarket can't accommodate without capital work.

West Oakland: The Port of Oakland's Industrial Front Door
2717 Peralta St sits in West Oakland's historic industrial district, 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 — much of it masonry and heavy-timber construction from the 1920s, like this building — 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 I-680, and it sits within walking distance of West Oakland BART. The neighborhood is also in the early stages of transformation: the City of Oakland and BART are advancing the Mandela Station transit-oriented development on the West Oakland BART parking lot a short distance away, bringing new housing, office/life-science space, and retail to a submarket that has historically been almost entirely industrial — a signal of long-term investment in the corridor even as the property itself remains squarely industrial-use.
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 2717 Peralta St. The project calls for 762 residential units, about 300,000 SF of office and life-science space, and 53,000 SF of retail across four development zones, with full construction expected to begin later in 2026.
For the surrounding industrial district, the project is notable less for direct competition — it doesn't add warehouse supply — and more as a marker that West Oakland, long defined by its port-serving industrial stock, is drawing new capital and foot traffic after decades of disinvestment following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and the original Cypress Freeway construction. Owners and users of nearby industrial buildings stand to benefit from improved neighborhood infrastructure and activity even as the immediate blocks around the port remain industrially zoned and utilized.

How we'd position 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 tenants in a genuinely favorable negotiating position for well-located, mid-size space like this. At $9.00/SF/YR, this listing is priced in line with, or below, the submarket average, which is a real opportunity for a distribution or light-industrial user who needs port proximity without paying big-box premiums.
The bigger-picture case for this address is its location, not the current market cycle: no amount of softening changes the fact that West Oakland sits between I-880/I-980 and the Port of Oakland's container terminals, and that access doesn't get replicated in outlying submarkets like Hayward or Fremont. Combined with early signs of neighborhood reinvestment via Mandela Station, tenants who lock in space here now are positioning close to the port for the next cycle, not just this one.
