Presenting a rare opportunity to acquire the iconic Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) Liberty Hall (AKA the Marcus Garvey Building). Liberty Hall is a designated local Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1877, this historic two story, 6,353 SF mixed use asset is steeped in over a century of cultural and civic significance. Over the past century the UNIA property has served as the local headquarters of the Marcus Garvey movement, civil rights organizers and a model for West Oakland community development. The property is strategically positioned steps from the West Oakland BART Station, offering occupants immediate access to regional transit. Additionally, the property’s 135 linear feet frontage on Chester and 8th Streets provides for excellent visibility. The structure showcases Italianate architectural detail, including Bay windows, bracketed cornices, and a Mansard roof offering both historical charm and strong branding potential for owner/users or investors.
