New renderings have been published for the five-story residential infill at 4981 MacArthur Boulevard in Maxwell Park, Oakland. The plan will bring 14 new homes to a vacant lot across from the Mills College campus. The local Equity West Real Estate is the project developer.

The 55-foot tall structure will yield around 20,700 square feet, with 18,500 square feet for housing and 1,270 square feet for the covered garage at ground level. Additional parking will be provided with surface parking for a total site capacity of 13 cars.
San Francisco-based McMahon Architects Studio is responsible for the design. The complex is built over the garage. The exterior is covered with white stucco and red rainscreen composite panels. A stairwell will run from the garage up to the top of the lot along the north border of the parcel.

Lake Merritt is half an hour away by bicycle. The estimated timeline and cost for construction have yet to be established.
