Kennedy Wilson Hires Colliers to Lease Downtown Oakland Office Tower

Colliers has been awarded the exclusive leasing assignment for 601 City Center, located in Oakland’s downtown. The firm has been hired by the new owner, Kennedy Wilson, to lease the property’s 24-story, 607,000-square-foot office tower. EVPs Charlie Allen and Anthony Shell and SVP Amber Merrigan will lead the marketing efforts.

“We’re excited to reintroduce Bay Area companies to this exceptional office tower,” said Allen. “Its new construction and upgraded design features, including a double-glazed glass curtain wall and illuminated exterior, make it an outstanding option for companies seeking a distinctive new home. We can accommodate a large contiguous block of approximately 260,000 square feet or professional suites starting at 5,000 square feet.”

Built in 2019, the Class A tower is the first high-rise office building constructed in the city in roughly a decade. Kennedy Wilson acquired it in April through foreclosure, according to published reports.
