Lake Merritt Plaza

Lake Merritt Plaza is a striking 27-story high-rise located in downtown Oakland, California, reaching a height of 371 feet. Completed in 1985 and designed by architect Bill Valentine, this modern office building has changed ownership several times, with notable transactions including a sale to Beacon Capital Partners for $160 million in 2006 and to Clarion Partners for $211 million in 2016. In 2023, a Bike Room was added to its ground floor, enhancing its appeal for visitors and commuters. Its proximity to Lake Merritt and other local attractions makes it a significant landmark in the area.
