Oakland Key System Building
The grand 1911 Beaux Arts Security Bank and Trust building that first housed Gianninni’s famed Bank of America, eventually becoming the headquarters of the Key System (the pre-cursor to all of our modern mass-transit systems in the Bay).
In the early 2000s, a developer was granted approval to construct a hotel on the adjacent parcel that would also rehabilitate and reuse the Key System Building, but the hotel project lost its financing.
Though another developer emerged in 2007, the building remains vacant while the developer awaits a better real estate market.
