It is estimated International Blvd. in the area of the site has a traffic count approaching 30,000 on weekends. Pedestrian traffic in the area is also extraordinary, as young girls stroll the district 4 and 5 abreast on warm sunny days. Claritas estimates 10,670 people lived within 1/2 mile of the site in 2007, 47,857 within one mile, and 151,474 within two miles. Population within a mile is 58.5% Hispanic or Latino, 16.05% African American, and 14% of Asian descent.

In addition to the thriving street front retail along International Blvd., Smart & Final has a store just across 41st Street from the site. Kragen, a new ±38,000 s.f. Mi Pueblo Supermarket, FAMSA, Susie’s Deals, and Burger King also may be found within a few blocks of the site.

The project offers space opportunities ranging in size from as large as 8,124 s.f. to as small as 713 s.f. Rent will vary depending upon size of space and location within the center.  Tenants committed to the center include Andrea, a national show store chain head quartered in Miami, Florida, serving primarily Hispanic Communities, and Oakland’s largest bridal wear store.

In summary, any merchant wishing to locate along Oakland’s International Boulevard retail corridor in the heart of the extraordinarily vibrant Fruitvale-Melrose neighborhoods of Oakland will not find a better opportunity.
