Demolition permits have been submitted for a 2018 Blake Street in South Berkeley, Alameda County. The project proposal includes the demolition of a detached garaged on the site that was damaged in a fire. After demolition, the project site is slated to be developed with a six-story residential infill.
Tripalink is the project developer. DNM Architecture is responsible for the design, taking over plans from the San Francisco-based Fifth Arch. RW Stover and Associates is responsible for the landscape architecture.

The project site is a parcel spanning an area of 0.12 acres. The scope of work includes the demolition of the garage and construction of 12 co-living apartments in two structures divided by a ground-level courtyard. The 61-foot tall structure will yield around 12,630 square feet, with 12,630 square feet for housing and 155 square feet for the 19-bicycle parking room. Unit sizes will vary with one studio, five four-bedrooms, and six five-bedrooms.

Usable open space spanning 2,433 square feet will also be developed to offer ground-floor landscape, patio areas and two roof decks. The project will offer a 17-space bike room and two outdoor bike racks.
A preliminary application was submitted for review and approval earlier this year. An estimated construction timeline has not been announced yet.
