Oakland Art Deco Comes Back to Life

The renovated iconic Art Deco-designed Breuner Building is attractive draw for tenants, such as WeWork, seeking space that combines architectural authenticity with modern design and technology.

Bruener Building With large floor plates and high ceilings, the building is well-suited for creative, tech and start-ups.

OAKLAND, CA—Built in 1931, the iconic Art Deco-designed Breuner Building at 2201 Broadway was originally designed by famed architect Albert Roller as the home of Breuner’s Home Furnishings. It was converted to office space some 20 years ago but languished over time.

Today, the one-of-a-kind structure has once again come to life in the Uptown area. TMG Partners purchased the building about seven years ago and completed extensive renovations including a facade upgrade, blade signage, fully reimagined lobby and common area, amenity upgrades, a new roof, and complete HVAC, elevator and fire life safety modernization.
