Since 2015, the East Bay area has seen the biggest spike in construction spending in over a decade. The Oakland, Fremont and Hayward metro area has received roughly $4.8 billion in new construction spending since 2015. The majority of new construction has been focused on residential real estate that includes apartments and condo buildings.
In Oakland, rent averages bubble around $1,600 a month, making recent construction projects a sigh of relief to locals and those moving into the San Francisco Bay Area. There’s a large demand for housing in San Francisco, and even though construction spending is up 92 percent since 2015, forecasters fear that the relief will not be enough for middle-class workers in the area.
