The Telegraph Lofts
project consisted of the conversion and renovation of the old
Sears Roebuck
building located at
2633 Telegraph Avenue
in Oakland, California.
This Art Deco building was constructed in
1929
and remodeled in
1963
to "modernize" the facade and provide more structural stability. Sears occupied the building until 1993. The 144,000 sf structure had been vacant prior to the rehabilitation.
The building contains
54
live/work units comprising
64,446 sf
, as well as
11,000 sf
of retail space and
28,000 sf
of
self-storage
.
In addition to the new penthouse level that was added, the center of the old Sears building was opened up to create the
open-air atrium
that now serves as the centerpiece of the building.
