The American Bag Building is a historic loft conversion in Jack London Square. Originally built in 1912, it served as the headquarters of the The American Bag and Union Hide Company until 1988. In 1995, a gut renovation was done by the current owners creating three units each consisting of its own floor while retaining the original brick and timber details. The top floor is a truly unique 4,400 square foot penthouse. In 1999, the building was designated as an Oakland landmark and is also on the National Register of Historic Places. The penthouse shares a secure lobby and freight elevator with two commercial units.
The American Bag Building is centrally located in the hub of Jack London Square just a few blocks from Jack London Cinemas, Yoshi's, Blue Bottle Coffee, Rosenblum Cellars, Chop Bar, California Kayak, Plank, Forge Pizzeria and numerous new restaurants and entertainment venues. It is only minutes to the Lake Merritt BART station and a few blocks to the Oakland Ferry Terminal, each providing quick access to San Francisco.
The penthouse was designed by the current owner and has custom finishes and compelling architectural features throughout. The interior spans the entire top floor of the building with freight elevator access directly into the unit. The floor plan consists of wide open living spaces, high ceilings with wood beams, skylights, original solid oak hardwood floors and custom lighting throughout. These dramatic elements are balanced with a state of the art kitchen that includes stainless cabinets, concrete countertops, oversized pantry, convection oven, gas range, warming drawer and double dishwashers.
There is a spacious fully enclosed primary bedroom with a luxurious bathroom and ~500 square foot closet and dressing area; two additional bedrooms on the opposite side of the loft with a shared bath and red claw foot tub, a family/media room and bonus room suitable for office or home gym.
Features include:
 Kitchen with custom designed stainless cabinets, poured concrete counters, stainless appliances, large center island, 5-burner gas stove, pot filler, dual Miele dishwashers, Wolf convection oven, Thermador hood, warming drawer, double sinks
 Primary bathroom with double sink, double steam shower and jetted tub

    "Lots of dogs in the neighborhood and a few areas where they play off leash near the marina. Lots of dogs running around having a great time. People don’t consistently pick up after their dogs around my apartment complex though, which is disappointing. "

    "Easily walk to either Lake Merritt or 12th street. 20 mins into the city. About a 15 minute walk. Very easy and tolerable if you work along the Bart line. Easy to manage a bicycle on Bart too if you work a bit further from Bart. I also love to treat myself by occasionally taking the ferry since it’s also only a 15 minute walk. "

    "The Produce & Waterfront neighborhood is well liked by dogs and their owners because there is a very good walking trail for dogs to walk on, with access to swimming in the Estuary. There are many dogs in the area. Wag, the animal service facility, is close by."

    "The Produce & Waterfront neighborhood is blessed with access to both easy public transportation as well as highway access. It is a 10-minute walk to BART, and there is a free shuttle bus that runs along the Broadway corridor to get to BART as well. The ferry to Alameda and San Francisco is within walking distance. But if you need to drive, you can jump right on the highway and drive to San Francisco or San Jose/Peninsula area very easily."

    "The Produce & Waterfront neighborhood is unique because it is a blend of residential and industrial areas that are learning to coexist peacefully. New businesses open up every month, restaurants come to the neighborhood frequently, and there are more places that serve coffee, wine, and beer than in any other area in Oakland. All this, plus picturesque views of the Oakland Estuary and the bay leading to San Francisco. The restaurants along the waterfront are top-notch. They include seafood, Italian, wood-forged pizza, and Middle Eastern restaurants, many with outdoor seating. The weather in Oakland is conducive to lazy Sunday brunches in the sunshine."

    "Produce & Waterfront is home to Jack London Square, which is easily the highlight of the neighborhood. Jack London Square hosts regular farmers' markets and festivals, with great food and other artisan goods. It's a casual and welcoming environment alongside a peaceful harbor. The area is quiet except for the Amtrak that runs directly through—careful not to live too close. Also, travel too far from the square and the vibe will change quickly, depending on what direction you go."

    "I lived in this area for about 6 months while I transitioned to The Bay from the Midwest. Near Jack London Square, the area had some interesting shops and decent restaurant options. Exciting bars or nightlife choices are a little further away. There's a diverse group of people living in the neighborhood and most people are quite friendly. There's homeless that set up on the sidewalks from time to time and you will encounter larger homeless communities in the area as well. I lived close to an Amtrak and frieght rail line that could be very loud at all hours of the night so I had trouble sleeping and never completely got used to the sound of the horns. Overall, I thought the area was nice relative to the rest of Oakland, but it wasn't as nice or as alive as I had hoped which prompted me to move to SF."

    "The Jack London District (no one calls it the produce district) is up and coming. full of great food, entertainment, art and shopping, this is one of the most walkable areas of Oakland. close to downtown, Old Oakland, Chinatown, and just a half-hour walk to the lake. Strolling the estuary at sunset is a treat this area affords, and its free! We love living here!"
