What is Gate510?
Gate510 is a New World of Creative Space for the art, tech, and maker communities.
Gate510 is a 24-acre East Bay property transformed into art, tech, maker hub offering unique opportunities for today’s creative-commerce class.
What does Gate510 offer?
Gate510 Fuses art and commerce in 1,000 – 10,000 square foot spaces
Today, Gate510 goes beyond the concept of “commercial building” to meld commerce and creativity for 21st century movers and shakers: artists, technologists, and makers. Proud of its 1940s labor roots as a Plymouth manufacturing plant, Gate510 is currently offering unique spaces from 1,000-10,000 square feet — factory-raw, office-finished, and build-to-suit. Building amenities abound, including ultra-fast fiber cable throughout, collaborative kitchens, and a central square designed to promote tenant-curated events, community gatherings, and commerce, in addition to the purposefully-designed private spaces where passionate people pursue their daily work.
Where is Gate510 located?
Gate510 is ideally situated, close to Oakland International Airport and the 880 freeway for easy access to Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose.
That age-old real estate maxim of “location, location, location” still holds true today. Located on the flip side of San Leandro’s Westgate Center, already anchored by a Home Depot and Office Depot, Gate510 provides tenants with cost-effective, steps-away accessibility to the tools and supply chain requirements for their varied trades.
