The Oakland Landmark Preservation Board will review plans for a seven-story mixed-use development at 419 4th Street in the Jack London Square neighborhood, Oakland. The proposal will save an existing historic facade known as the “Noodle Factory” warehouse. Lowney Architecture is responsible for the design.

The 85-foot tall structure will yield 74,260 square feet, including 46,800 square feet of leasable residential space, 1,490 square feet of ground-level retail, and 9,540 square feet for 40 vehicle parking spaces. 419 4th Street will create 69 apartments, ranging from studios on the lower levels to as large as three and four-bedroom units above. Many of the apartments will have a private balcony, while all residents have access to the second-level amenities, third-floor courtyard, and rooftop terrace.

The second-story amenities will include a conference room, fitness center, outdoor area, a float tank, and a sauna. On the third floor, the open space courtyard separates the upper levels into two towers connected by sky bridges with trellis planting decoration. Lowney Architecture is also responsible for landscape design.
