New plans have been filed with a minor residential capacity increase for 419 4th Street in Oakland, Alameda County. The revisions will not increase the size or design of the eight-story building, rising in the city’s waterfront Jack London Square neighborhood. Smart Growth is the project owner.

The 88-foot tall structure will yield around 82,190 square feet, including 62,170 square feet for housing, 500 square feet for retail, 5,910 square feet of amenities, and 645 square feet of parking for two EV car-sharing spaces. Additional parking will be included for 32 bicycles. Residential amenities will include a coworking space, a fitness center, and a wellness room.
Unit sizes will vary, with 89 studios, 18 one-bedrooms, and 12 two-bedrooms. There will also be nine work/live apartments on the first floor. In addition, 12 will be designated as affordable to very low-income households, one more than the initially approved plan from November of 2022.

Lowney Architecture is responsible for the design and landscaping, with a large gridded skin on the front and back rising above the refurbished 1922-built existing facade. The exterior will have stucco, fiber cement panels, and a full-height mural on the sides. Landscape design will include the first-floor private yards, the second-level amenity courtyard facing 4th Street, and a furnished rooftop deck. The top floor includes a tea pavilion, bar, and dining space.

I would like to get a 2 bedroom affordable low income apartment. How do I get a application to get on the waitlist?
So they are cramming in more tiny units? Nice, love it. I won’t be satisfied until developers start creating capsule hotel style units.
Great job! Go Chris!
Great that more affordable housing in a public transit available is good.
