801 Franklin St

City Center Plaza is a 14‑story condominium building constructed in 1976 and located in the heart of Oakland’s Chinatown. The property is primarily configured with two‑bedroom condominium units (many with 1 to 1.5 baths) arranged to maximize city and bay views from upper floors. Interiors commonly feature walk‑in closets, breakfast bars, in‑unit laundry or on‑site laundry facilities, and a mix of original and updated finishes across units. Exterior traits include broad, extra‑wide balconies and floor layouts oriented toward downtown and bay vistas; higher floors are noted for breezes and panoramic sightlines. Common areas and services emphasize daily convenience and security: a staffed 24/7 front desk, professional on‑site property management, and gated underground parking with assigned spaces. HOA dues typically cover water, sewer, garbage and gas. The building’s location delivers an ultra‑walkable urban lifestyle—immediate access to BART, AC Transit, nearby freeways, weekly farmers market, retail and restaurants, plus proximity to Jack London Square, Lake Merritt and downtown Oakland attractions. Pet policies and exact amenity rules vary by unit/HOA but the community is presented as service‑oriented and transit‑friendly for commuters and urban residents.
