PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Fruitvale Studios is an extensively renovated 1920’s era wood-framed, brick facade gem with a substantial rent roll. The previous owners have restored and improved much of the property beginning with the interior of many units, which have new windows, heaters, flooring, kitchens and baths, and electric sub-panels. The hallways have matching Pergo floors which bring out the natural dark cherrytrim and 1920’s architectural detailing of the building. Fully detached on all sides, Fruitvale Studios has gated parking for 9 cars, laundry facilities on the 2nd floor, and a 19-camera closed-circuit video monitoring system, making this one of the cleanest and most secure properties in the Fruitvale corridor. It’s also professionally managed with many high-quality tenants.

There are some anchor bolts visible and while the façade is brick, the foundation is concrete. Parking is in the back of the building and accessed via a motorized iron gate.

PROPERTY LOCATION

Located just 1 mile west of Fruitvale BART, this building is directly in the path of progress. With nearby office space being leased up by internet companies and gentrification occurring in every direction, Fruitvale Studios is poised to benefit from the San Francisco spillover effect and demographic changes occurring in Oakland, where rent growth is outpacing nearly every other city in the U.S.

Renovation of 16 of the interior of the units, many torn down to the studs. Renovations include; new sub-panels and copper plumbing, double pane windows, new cabinets and countertops, appliances, fixtures, tile, tubs, toilets, and flooring. The total cost of all capital expenditures over the past 24 months: $383,000.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The subject property offers a new owner the opportunity to buy into one of the hottest real estate markets worldwide. Oakland is rapidly transforming into an internationally recognized market, on par with Hong Kong, London, and Manhattan. Fruitvale Studios is offered at substantially below construction and or replacement costs. Our research indicates there will be an extremely high demand for housing in this neighborhood for the foreseeable future, driven by the technology sector and a lack of new market-rate housing.
