Permits have been filed seeking the review of a new mixed-use development at 2902 Adeline Street in South Berkeley. The project proposal includes the construction of a six-story mixed-use building offering residential and commercial spaces. The project requires the demolition of one residential building and one mixed-use development.
Realtex Apartments LLC is the project applicant and property owner. Trachtenberg Architects is managing the design concepts and construction.

With a shortage of 410,000 (new housing units needed in the Bay area), these 50 units do little good. Why so few units? Why not go taller and make an impact on this housing crisis? I don’t get it, how short-sited this is to build these small Multi-family projects when demand is out of control. No more office space is needed!
Why not pave over the whole city with concrete? We don’t care where families live or how the environment is effected. How much water will be used? How much electricity? Where will the sewage go and be treated? The people in these small units will never marry or have kids, as they will have nowhere to live that they can afford because they will have student debt for many years. And they will ride bikes to work and never buy bulky items to transport, like groceries. Alas.
