AiCRE Partners is pleased to present a rare development opportunity in one of Contra Costa County’s fastest-growing submarkets. Located at the high-traffic, signalized intersection of Laurel Rd and Empire Ave, this 2.61-acre commercial parcel offers exceptional visibility, flexible zoning, and strong regional access—making it a prime site for retail, medical, drive-thru, or mixed-use commercial development.
Zoned General Commercial, the site accommodates a wide variety of uses, including high-demand options like quick-service restaurants (QSRs), urgent care or medical office, neighborhood retail centers, and service-based businesses. Developers will appreciate the level topography and dual street frontage, which ease construction planning and site access.
The property benefits from daily traffic volumes exceeding 42,000 vehicles (Laurel Rd + Empire Ave combined), and is located just 0.25 miles from Highway 4, providing immediate connection to the broader East Bay corridor. This corridor has experienced sustained residential and economic growth due to affordability and accessibility—driven in part by the eBART extension and regional infrastructure investments such as the East Cypress Road Widening Project.
Surrounding the site is a dense and growing population base:
204,000+ residents within 5 miles
Average household income over $150,000
Median age in the 30s—ideal for retail, family services, and lifestyle offerings
The city of Oakley continues to attract families, professionals, and investors with its strategic location, quality schools, and business-friendly environment. National retailers, schools, and residential developments are nearby, reinforcing the site’s long-term demand potential.
Whether you're a developer seeking your next retail pad or an investor assembling assets in the expanding East Bay, this site offers the fundamentals to support a high-performance project.
