Opportunity Knocks. Shopping Center in Prime Oakland Location.
A 27,664-square-foot strip center across two contiguous parcels on one of Oakland's most active commercial corridors — offered for the first time in nearly four decades of single-family ownership.
A standing corner, held since 1985.
Acquired in June of 1985 and stewarded by a single family ever since, 821 International Blvd is the kind of generational hold that rarely trades on the open market. The asset comprises two connected single-story retail wings wrapped around a private parking court, with a second-floor flex envelope above the eastern wing — a configuration well suited to a creative reposition, owner-user occupancy, or continued multi-tenant operation.
A hard corner on Oakland's transit spine
You're sitting right at the signalized corner of International Blvd and 9th Avenue — the same busy stretch AC Transit's Tempo BRT line rides straight into downtown Oakland.
Steady income today, room to grow tomorrow
Eight ground-floor retail bays are already paying rent — a laundromat, restaurant, water store, pharmacy and more — and there's a 5,000+ SF second-floor flex space upstairs just waiting to be reimagined.
Walkable, dense, hard to replace
With a Walk Score of 88, you're surrounded by new apartments at Brooklyn Basin and the Lake Merritt Channel, in a neighborhood that keeps drawing fresh investment.
