2717 Peralta St leased because The Ida Group’s brokers actively share tenant requirements across every market we cover in the Bay Area, not just the neighborhood where a listing happens to sit. Regular communication among team members working different submarkets meant a qualified tenant need identified elsewhere was matched to this building. The tenant, a custom cabinet and millwork manufacturer that had operated in San Francisco since the 1970s, needed a larger, modern industrial facility to support its continued growth. That cross-pollination, pooling relationships and tenant needs across the full platform rather than working listings in isolation, is what turned this opportunity into a closed transaction.

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.

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.

Oakland's infill industrial market continues to see steady demand from manufacturing, distribution and light-industrial users who value proximity to the East Bay's labor pool and transportation corridors. Well-located, functional buildings like 2717 Peralta St remain in short supply relative to demand, which supported a competitive leasing process and a long-term commitment from a qualified tenant, a favorable outcome for ownership in the current environment.
