Our Name
Centro Callan is named to reflect both its central place in San Leandro and the vibrant, diverse community it honors. "Centro" signifies its position at the heart of a growing urban village with our address including "cent" and our proximity to downtown, while "Callan" pays tribute to San Leandro’s first female mayor, who brought together the city’s rich history and forward-thinking vision. Our name embodies the values we cherish—freedom, respect, optimism, and artistry—creating a space where residents can be themselves and thrive. At Centro Callan, modern living meets the welcoming spirit of a close-knit community, offering a harmonious blend of city energy and hometown charm.
Public Art
Jet Martinez, an influential Bay Area public artist, brings vibrant life to the exterior of Centro Callan. Based in Oakland, Martinez is known for blending the traditions of Mexican folk art with contemporary design. Originally from Tuxpan, Veracruz, and raised in Cuernavaca, Morelos, his work draws inspiration from the rich cultural heritage of pottery, weaving, and embroidery. With bold, ornate patterns, Martinez transforms urban spaces into lively, colorful environments, and his mural at Centro Callan reflects this signature style, celebrating culture and community.
