Crews are readying the property at 2359 Harrison Street ahead of demolition for a 16-story mixed-use building in Northgate-Waverly, by downtown Oakland. Surface parking has been removed, and grading occurring ahead of excavation. Holland Partner Group is responsible for the development.
Holland purchased and merged eight separate parcels to make the development possible, including some buildings and surface parking. The five existing structures on-site are currently vacant, including a low-slung commercial building, single-family dwelling, two duplexes, and a ten-unit residential complex.

Long-term parking will also be included for 165 bicycles. The L-shaped floor plates will include a 41-foot tall podium with seven private patios and a twin-space plaza with outdoor seating for dining and lounging. A rooftop courtyard on the 15th floor will also open up space with a barbeque pit, artificial-grass lawn, and fire pits.
