OAKLAND, CA—Built in 1926 as Oakland's first skyscraper, the 16-story Beaux Arts-style office tower, Central Building at 436 14th St., has been an East Bay fixture for nearly a century. Transwestern Real Estate Services has been selected by Jordan Real Estate Investments to provide property management services as well as leasing of the building's office space.
The locally based owner has tasked Transwestern with bringing the building's legacy into the present, allowing the 136,769-square-foot icon to remain both community focused and relevant to tenants in the competitive Bay Area market.
"We are highly committed to retaining the charming historical feeling of the building throughout upgrades such as the upcoming elevator modernization," said Hayley Crickmore, Transwestern property manager. "As we look forward to when all shelter-in-place mandates can be lifted, we have developed a comprehensive plan to help our tenants return to the office safely and smoothly."
