Industrial brokers for Oakland owners
Oakland’s industrial market is about 34.5 million SF, from West Oakland and the Port area to the Fruitvale, Coliseum and East Oakland districts along I-880. Much of it is older, smaller buildings owned by families and local operators — the core of our business.
We have closed 16 Oakland transactions: 8 sales totaling $21,600,000 and 8 leases. 5 of the sales were to owner-users, and 10 Oakland deals have closed since January 2024.
