"California think tank Rand Corp. has agreed to anchor a new city
office building in Oakland, at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Craig
Street.

The brainy nonprofit, which first opened a Pittsburgh research office
in 2000, will take 59,000 square feet in the proposed 110,000
square-foot building, moving from its current 30,000 square-foot North
Craig Street quarters by January 2006."

....

"Downtown-based The Elmhurst Group, developer of Rand's building, has
been planning the Oakland property for the last two years but was
unwilling to start construction without an anchor tenant.

Bill Hunt, Elmhurst's president, now expects work to begin in January
or February on the site occupied by a vacant bank branch once
belonging to Mellon Financial Corp.

Joining Rand as tenants will be the University of Pittsburgh, which
owns the land underneath the building, and Mellon, which leases the
land from Pitt."
