A Premier In-Fill Development Opportunity Featuring 167 Acres in Oakland Trades Hands in a Red-Hot Bay Area Land Market

Posted on by

May 9, 2014 (Irvine, California) – The California Division of the Land Advisors Organization is pleased to announce the closing of Oak Knoll, a premier hillside development opportunity featuring 167 acres in Oakland, California. The asset sale was brokered on behalf of LV Oak Knoll LLC, the Seller, by Terry Ruckle and Steve Reilly of the Land Advisors Organization.

Land Advisors generated 20 offers for the property, evidence of intense competition for Bay Area residential development projects.

The Oak Knoll property is unique in the market due to its ability to provide desperately-needed new single-family homes, significant natural open space, trails and parks, and direct access to Interstate 580 at Mountain Boulevard.  With its in-fill location, the Oak Knoll property is well-positioned to provide a wide range of housing options to the East Bay Area.  Oak Knoll offers one of the rarest residential development opportunities remaining in the Western United States.

Bay Area – Land Prices Have Gone Through the Roof!

Posted on by

Since the 2011 trough in land prices, the worst markets in the Bay Area have seen a significant increase in lot prices – an average of about 44%. As the available land in the core markets has dwindled, builders have turned to the tertiary markets that were once off the radar. This trend will likely continue in areas such as the Central Valley and Monterey and Sonoma Counties. Although they may be considered unbuildable zones today, they will see a similar lot appreciation over the next few years as builders move farther out of the core to build.

Lot Price Appreciation for a 5,000 SF lot

Oakley 53.33%
Antioch 53.13%
Pittsburg 51.52%
Martinez 51.11%
Brentwood 48.57%
Livermore 46.67%
Mountain View 46.67%
Sunnyvale 46.43%
Hayward 46.15%
San Jose 45.45%
Fremont 40.00%
Hercules 37.14%
Concord 33.93%
Gilroy 33.33%
Dublin 30.00%

Bay Area: Back to the future—Are condos the new apartments???

Posted on by

I have to admit it…I was dead wrong. I thought (like many others) that condos were going to be dead for a while.  Many people really don’t want to live in a condo but they end up “settling” for them because of the relative affordability closer to job bases. As prices in the Bay Area have resumed their pre-collapse march up at 10+% per year, condos are making resurgence.

Given the resurgence in attached for-sale product in the Bay Area, the “highest and best” use has now probably switched back to condos from apartments.  And it probably won’t be long before we see the reverse of what happened a few years ago where condo sites were re-entitled to apartment deals.  Now we’ll start seeing apartment sites re-entitled to townhomes and condos. If you have one of these sites feel free to give us a call to help evaluate all the options in the fast changing market.  There are many factors to consider in making this kind of decision; our in-fill experts can help you juggle all the factors to position your site for maximum sales proceeds!
