After 30 years in downtown San Francisco, the Earth Justice law firm, which was formally known as the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund, will move to Oakland, where its will pay $38 per sf. The firm's expired San Francisco lease was signed in 1991 for $19 per sf.
The law firm has rented a 20,000-sf property in Oakland's Wakefield Building, which will allow them to renovate the building into their ideal office. The building screams environmentally correct, with features that include recycled wood and steel, bamboo accents, motion-sensor lights and natural fiber carpeting.
The 60,000-sf Wakefield Building was purchased a few years ago by Wakefield Investors LLP, which renovated the property last year. The building is located at 426 17th St., only a few blocks from BART.
