Use City-owned Outdoor Property Since the start of Flex Streets, the City of Oakland has made available unutilized City-owned outdoor properties to retail businesses and restaurants which are unable to operate in the public right of way or on private property as provided under the FlexStreets program.
City Property for Sale or Lease Now is a great time to invest in Oakland. The City of Oakland currently owns over 24 properties which -- through partnerships with the development community -- we will develop over the next six years.
