Oakland has had a challenging few years since 2020, with much work still needed to rebuild a safe, inviting, and vibrant community. We aim to be a part of that work through investments like this one, which have the opportunity to realize strong upside as well as be a part of an inspired revival.

When we first walked 2731 Durant, we knew it was ours. While it had been subject to a fair amount of neglect and mismanagement, we knew it was just a year of work away from being a warm, quaint, and comfortable housing option in an incredible location one block from campus. What resulted was one of our most joyous investments – a home to a wonderful group of students who all enjoy a beautiful outdoor space along with a well-cared for building all for very manageable prices.
