Description

Marchant Calculators building. "6701 San Pablo. Following the 1958 merger, Marchant Calculators opened a new headquarters originally identified as 6701 San Pablo Avenue in Oakland. The Marchant Building was acquired by UC Berkeley for its printing business which moved from near campus c.2004. [ ? ]. They sold the building in 2009, and announced they were closing the printing business in 2010. In about 2013-2014, the Marchant Building was redeveloped and revamped by the owner at that time, LBA Realty. As part of the process, the building was given three new addresses, and is now identified as 3100 San Pablo Avenue and 1000 Folger Street in Berkeley, and as 1222 - 67th Street in Emeryville. The building is right at the point where Oakland, Berkeley and Emeryville come together, with portions in each of the three cities, giving it some flexibility in addresses. On February 24, 2014, TCHO Chocolates announced that they would be moving to the building by April 2014. On October 20, 2015, Amazon announced that they would be opening a distribution center on the north (Berkeley) side of the building."
