THE OPPORTUNITY
The subject property offers a new owner the financial advantages of a designated qualified opportunity zone in one of the hottest real estate markets worldwide. Oakland is rapidly globalizing due to the expansion of the international airport and container port. For the past few years, Oakland has consistently ranked in the top 5 for appreciation and rent growth within the U.S. Oakland has an extremely diverse job market and a lack of workforce housing that should continue to ensure high rent demand and appreciation in this sub market.
