Renderings have been revealed for a multifamily development proposed at 1357 5th Street in Oakland. The project proposal includes the development of a five-story building offering residential units and onsite parking. Plans call for the demolition of an existing commercial building and surface parking lot.
The Martin Group of Companies is the project applicant. West Oakland Development Group is the property owner. BDE Architecture is designing the project.

All for the housing, but this proposal needs a much better design and less parking.
720 parking spaces? If you want a car, then you can choose to live in 90% of the remaining Bay Area. Oakland is a city where people walk, bike or BART. Cancel the parking.
Agreed
First line says 59th Street. Can you please include a current streetview image or map? Thanks
Density should be higher much higher. 5 stories is too low being right at the BART station. At least 8 stories.
I like it. They are also building a parking garage which includes BART parking is a good idea since they are taking all the Bart lots for building housing.
