The 189-foot tall structure contains 175,910 square feet, including 1,600 square feet of ground-level retail. Management of the 276 hotel guest rooms will be divided, with 143 rooms managed by Marriott Residence Inn and 133 rooms managed by the Marriott-owned AC Hotel. The Residence Inn rooms are marketed for long-stay tourists, while AC Hotel is marketed toward short-term visitors looking for higher-end amenities and finishes. Guests will have access to the expansive fitness center and the 30-attendee meeting space furnished with digital monitors and smart screens.

Stanton Architecture is the project architect. The exterior is wrapped with silver surface panels, metallic finishes, and cement panels. Columns of nine-story bay windows project out from the high podium and to the 11th-floor setback datum. The terraces create an open space for guests to enjoy the view across the city and toward San Francisco.

Both hotels will be part of the Marriott Bonvoy program, which offers benefits for regular guests at Marriott locations internationally. FCL Management will be the hotel operator. Guests will be a short walk to the 12th Start BART Station, close to Frank Ogawa Plaza, also known as the Oscar Grant Plaza.

  1. Fantastic. The more investment grade commercial real estate the better in Oakland.

  2. This is the way.

    Another empty eyesore, the Raiders left, the A’s are leaving, perhaps they rent to the homeless people using the hundred of millions in homeless assistance the bay area spends on Homelessness, and that’s how to end Homelessness….or better yet, let the Hunkpapa build a Casino in downtown Oakland and show you folks how to entertain, then buy back both teams

    • I don’t think it is an Empty Eyesore. Oakland has some issues, but it keeps improving. It is too bad the A’s are leaving, but hopefully, they will get some other sports like soccer, maybe some women’s sports. Perhaps something which is affordable for most people. With a new stadium, tickets for an A’s game would be unaffordable for most families. You need to be rich to get Football, Basketball, and Baseball tickets.

  5. Excited that this is finally open

  6. I think the title is wrong this isn’t open yet. Pretty sure it’s going to start construction not open.
