Originally constructed as a 6700 SF silent movie theater in the 1920s, the Yates is one of only a handful of historic theaters still left. Preserving the original artwork on the walls, the high wooden barrel ceiling and the stage, this is a cool opportunity to bring a theater back to life. With nothing quite like it on the market, this awesome space is ideal for a variety of uses. Restaurant, live music, theater, brewery, winery, distillery, or an entertainment concept are all uses that could crush it. Creative Office Users and Co-Working Operators would find this space equally as amazing. Surrounded by beautiful homes in the Berkeley neighborhood, the residents are dying for someone to activate this space. The city is also in support of this space being activated and have already approved a liquor license, that would be transferred to Tenant. Landlord willing to make additional infrastructure investments into the building. Landlord will install a new roof, upgrade the exterior façade and provide new HVAC, all build-to-suit for Tenant’s use. This space is waiting for the right visionary to do something special here!
