Investment highlights
Key Highlights
Unmatched Location: Steps from UC Berkeley's campus, one block from Downtown Berkeley BART for easy access to San Francisco and Oakland. Surrounded by over 200 restaurants, cafes, shops, theaters, and cultural venues like the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive—driving high foot traffic and tenant demand.
Strong Student Housing Demand: Berkeley's undersupplied market ensures consistent occupancy and rental growth. Tailored for UC Berkeley students, faculty, and staff with efficient layouts and inclusive utilities.
Diversified Income Streams: Blend of residential and retail for stable cash flow. Commercial spaces attract premium tenants in a vibrant corridor, with opportunities for renewal or repositioning.
Classic Appeal with Modern Functionality: Sturdy brick construction with practical features like high ceilings and natural light.
Market Strength: Proximity to Silicon Valley (30 minutes via BART) and Berkeley's innovation ecosystem positions this for long-term appreciation in a barrier-to-entry market.
