1500 Broadway is truly a one-of-a-kind creative offering in the heart of downtown with a rich Oakland history. Designed by architect William Knowles, the building was originally constructed in 1923 as the Roos Brothers department store, then later renovated and converted into office space in the 1970’s. The exterior of the building still displays its original Gothic terracotta ornament giving the building a unique look and feel. Today, the building boasts some of the most high-end, creative office space in all of Oakland. With its high ceilings, exposed concrete and timber framing, and expansive window lines, the interior spaces are both beautiful and highly functional with a warm feel. Come reinvigorate your workforce at a true Oakland landmark.
