With more than 30 years’ experience in the California Bay Area, Arup opened its first East Bay office in Downtown Oakland in 2017.

Our Oakland office at 1330 Broadway covers 16,000ft2 and houses a team of 50 engineers and consultants, with expansion space for 100 staff. The fully multidisciplinary office provides professional services including building and infrastructure engineering and consulting services.

We are currently involved with work on 2100 Telegraph, 1900 Broadway, 2 Kaiser Plaza in downtown Oakland, and WeWork on 1111 Broadway; multiple projects for BART; and have collaborated with Alameda County and the City of Berkeley.

The Oakland office expansion was a collaboration with TMG Partners, Gensler, Skyline Construction, and Cushman Wakefield, and highlights the firm's collaborative culture and history of innovation.

We wanted to expand our footprint across the bay for a while. We currently have 300 people in San Francisco. Expanding to Oakland provides growth opportunities for our team and better service for our East Bay clients. Looking ahead, the Oakland office will continue to grow as part of the city’s dynamic development. ” John Worley Group Leader of our Oakland office
