A steel auto dealership by the Bay Bridge, Oakland CA
Universal Steel supplied the complete building package for an auto dealership in Oakland, California, built around 15 years ago on a prominent site by the San Francisco to Oakland Bay Bridge. The standout was the location: a high-visibility spot right by one of the Bay Area’s busiest crossings.

What we supplied
Complete building package: building system and insulation package
The challenge
Two things come with a project like this. First, the location: any building in the Bay Area has to be engineered to California’s seismic requirements, among the most demanding in the country. Second, the use: an auto dealership needs an open, presentable building that works as both a showroom and a working sales and service operation. The complete package had to deliver on both.
The solution
Universal Steel engineered and supplied the complete package, building system and insulation, designed in-house to California’s code and seismic requirements, then fabricated and shipped from the closest plant. Steel construction suits an auto dealership: it gives the clear, open floor a showroom and service area need, in a building that presents well on a prominent site. The insulation package keeps the interior comfortable for staff and customers through the year.
