Trammell Crow Company (TCC) has been appointed by long-time partner Principal Real Estate Investors, to serve as the master developer of San Leandro Business Center, a new speculative Class A industrial project that sits on a 30.61-acre site located in the I-880 corridor. The project will include three Class A industrial buildings totaling 553,200 square feet of high-tech manufacturing, assembly and distribution space. Construction is expected to begin Q2 2017 and complete in Q3 2018.
The site—one of the largest development sites in the area—is currently home to the 1950s-built, 328,000-square-foot former Kraft Foods plant. Closed late last year, the facility made Tang, Kool-Aid, and a number of coffee and tea brands, such as Maxwell House, Gevalia, and Yuban.
“Very few projects of scale in this supply-constrained submarket are even possible,” said Parker Larson, Senior Associate with TCC’s Northern California Business Unit. “We have created a vision for the site that we believe meets demand. We are excited to be working with Principal again on a unique interior Bay Area project.”
“We are very excited to be moving forward with this project,” added Jeff Uittenbogaard, an Investment Director with Principal Real Estate Investors. “East Bay investment opportunities as well located as this site don’t come around very often.”
The CBRE Oakland team of Michael Barry and Robert Ferraro represented seller in the transaction. Additionally, the team will serve as the leasing agents for the project.
