Colin Behring, CEO of Behring Companies, has been recognized as one of the San Francisco Business Times’ Newsmaker 100, highlighting influential figures shaping the Bay Area’s business landscape. Under his leadership, Behring Companies has made significant strides in urban development, notably delivering 1900 Broadway, one of Oakland’s largest luxury apartment towers. This 39-story high-rise offers 452 rental units, four floors of coworking spaces, and a suite of amenities, including an on-site fleet of over 100 electric vehicles and scooters, aiming to create a transit-first, dense urban neighborhood.

As the sun sets over downtown Oakland, 1900 Broadway stands as a beacon of innovation, blending luxury living, workspace solutions, and vibrant community energy.

Behring’s innovative approach draws inspiration from the megacities of Asia, focusing on integrating dense populations with concentrated urban services atop transit hubs. This vision is evident in 1900 Broadway’s design, which combines residential units, coworking offices, and various tenant amenities, all seamlessly connected to the regional BART rail system.

Located in the heart of Oakland’s Uptown District, 1900 Broadway is steps from major corporate offices, the Uptown BART Station, and iconic venues like the Fox Theater and Paramount Theater.

Continuing his commitment to revitalizing urban spaces, Behring recently acquired a 21-story office tower at 1950 Franklin Street in downtown Oakland. Purchased from Kaiser Permanente, this property is set to be transformed into a mixed-use campus, further contributing to Oakland’s urban renaissance.

Colin Behring’s forward-thinking developments are redefining urban living in the Bay Area, blending luxury accommodations with sustainable, transit-oriented solutions.
