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.

Oakland’s direct vacancy is 10.0%, above the East Bay average of 8.7%, and tenants are selective. Well-located small buildings with parking, yard or loading still trade, and owner-users remain the most active buyers for them.

How we sell

What an owner gets from us

A number built from closed sales
We price from recorded sales, not asking prices, and show you the addresses, prices, building SF, land SF and $/SF behind it. On yard and low-coverage sites we value the land separately.
The principals do the work
Jeffrey Ida and Brendan Gallagher price the property, run every tour and negotiate every offer. You get a written update every week.
The right buyer pool
Buildings under about $20M mostly sell to owner-users and private investors, not institutions. We market on CoStar, LoopNet and Crexi and go direct to our private-buyer list, backed by the national Lee & Associates platform.
