Office furniture liquidation in Oakland
Corporate move-outs, consolidations and lease exits in Oakland, planned around the district's buildings and logistics, with one written net offer.
Clearing an office in Oakland
Oakland's office core is downtown and Lake Merritt, from City Center and the Broadway corridor to the Kaiser Center towers on Harrison Street, plus Jack London Square on the waterfront. Healthcare, utilities, consumer products companies, nonprofits, public agencies and firms that moved from San Francisco office here along I-980, I-880 and the 12th Street and 19th Street BART stations.
Downtown and Lake Merritt are mostly mid-rise and high-rise towers with shared docks, freight elevators and garage loading, while Jack London Square adds converted warehouse and newer mid-rise office. Older towers can have small freight cars and limited dock space, so floor-by-floor clearing takes careful scheduling.
District snapshot: Cushman & Wakefield's first quarter 2026 report found nearly 38% of downtown Oakland office space empty, up from 10.8% in 2019. Source

Planning a Oakland move-out
What experienced facilities teams account for in this district before the first desk comes apart.
- Book freight elevator and dock time with building management and expect after-hours windows for large removals in downtown towers.
- Ask management whether union labor is required, since some Bay Area office buildings require union crews for furniture moves.
- Arrange curb loading space with the city in advance for buildings without a dock, especially on Broadway and around City Center.
- Avoid Bay Bridge and I-880 peak traffic when trucks are heading out of downtown, and keep clear of BART station entrances on Broadway.
- Separate e-waste for certified recycling, since California DTSC bars monitors and other covered electronic devices from landfill.
