2400 San Pablo Avenue is a roughly 18,900 SF (0.45-acre) corner site at San Pablo Avenue and Channing Way in South Berkeley, directly across the street from Berkeley Moshav, a 36-unit co-housing community. For nearly fifty years the corner was home to Ohmega Salvage, a beloved architectural salvage yard that closed in 2023. The property was acquired in 2026 by Sampi, a neighborhood group seeking a like-minded partner to develop something that strengthens the block.
The seller is open to either an outright sale or a joint venture, and seller financing is available to the right partner, allowing pre-development work to advance without locking up capital early.
The site is well positioned for what's coming on the corridor. Both Alameda County and the City of Berkeley are redesigning the San Pablo corridor. The property sits within the San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan corridor and the Alameda County CTC San Pablo corridor redesign, is listed as a priority development site by the City of Berkeley (granting by-right development under certain conditions), and is located in an Opportunity Zone.
Significant due diligence has already been completed, including a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment, geotechnical study, building inspection, ALTA survey, and property appraisal. These reports are available to serious respondents and can save months of upfront work.
The ownership group is seeking a partner who shares a community-oriented vision, whether co-housing, a cooperative, a community land trust, neighborhood-serving space, or family-oriented missing-middle housing. Contact for pricing and terms.
