**Colliers Markets Historic Scottish Rite Temple in Oakland**
Colliers is officially marketing the iconic Scottish Rite Temple, located at 1547 Lakeside Drive in Oakland. The landmark property spans approximately 85,000 square feet and, notably, has never been formally offered for sale in its 100-year history.
Senior Vice President Sid Ewing and Senior Associate Paul O’Drobinak are leading the sale on behalf of the Scottish Rite Temple Association. According to Colliers, the building boasts exceptional visibility, historic charm, and is poised for a creative investor or developer ready to reimagine its future.
“A rare gem of architectural and historical significance, this remarkable building stands as a testament to the past while offering unmatched potential for the future,” said Ewing. “Nestled on a prime lot, it not only tells a rich story but also unlocks exciting redevelopment opportunities for the adjacent land — a unique blend of legacy and limitless possibilities.”
The offering presents a once-in-a-century opportunity to transform one of Oakland’s most recognizable structures while preserving its cultural heritage.
