OAKLAND, CA—Is Uptown continuing to be at the forefront of development and leasing activities? Most would agree in the affirmative. A mainstay in the real estate landscape is the Breuner Building, which has been a part of Oakland's history and still continues to have influence today.
Built in 1931, the building was originally designed by the famed architect Albert Roller as the home of Breuner's Home Furnishings. Clad in green terra cotta tiling, Art Deco styling and motifs depicting furniture craftsmen adorn the building's southern and eastern elevations. The building's northern façade also serves as “The Great Wall of Oakland,” a 100 by 100 foot installation which provides a backdrop for monthly independent film screenings and vertical dance troop performances, playing a central role in the Uptown neighborhood's cultural resurgence.
TMG Partners is implementing extensive renovations to the building, which includes a full lobby and common area renovations, façade upgrade, and a complete HVAC, elevator and fire life safety modernization.
