What is Radish?
Radish is a root vegetable.
And it is also a compound in Oakland, CA.
All the current residents are moving out and we're selling it this year.
There are 4 buildings being sold:
-
one building has 4 one bedrooms apartments
-
one building is a duplex with a 3 bed and a 2 bed
-
one building is a 2 bed/2bth
-
one is a common building (could be turned into a one bedroom)
We're also offering the option to rent the neighboring duplex, a 3 bed and a 2 bed.
This website has all you need to know about the buildings and life at Radish.
We'd love to sell to another community.

Timeline
Radish is a unique property.
We're going to sell it vacant. And we want to sell it to community. Given those two things, we're giving a lot of lead time for the sale process.
We're announcing 6 months before offer dates are due. This gives you 6 months to get your finances in order to buy the place. And we're giving you until December 2026 to move in. This allows you time to get your community in order.
Tell everyone we know: January
This website has all the relevant details about the units (videos, pictures, floorplans). We're interested in serious buyers. If this is you, let's continue the conversation. Fill out the form to qualify for a tour and disclosures.
Give tours: January - May
We'll have formal tour dates for serious buyers. Radish is fully occupied right now so we're limiting public tours.
Offers due and close: June and July
Let's do this!! We accept early offers. If one comes in before June, we'll consider. Otherwise, offers are due in June and we expect to close in July.
Move in: January 2027
We want to make this optimal for the new owners, so we're giving you a lot of time before you need to move in your full crew. In the interim, our group will rent from you.
