Demolition permits have been filed as a part of a new affordable housing project proposed for development at 2700 International Boulevard in Fruitvale, Oakland.

The scope of work includes the demolition of an existing three-story medical dental building, a two-story office building and a vacant commercial land and surface parking. Once the site is cleared, the developers aim to construct a six-story building offering affordable housing. The building height will rise to 74 feet and yield around 100,800 square feet of total built-up area, with 75,810 square feet for housing, 4,780 square feet for commercial retail, 1,600 square feet for offices, and 11,090 square feet for parking.

As covered previously, unit sizes will vary with 35 one-bedrooms, 21 two-bedrooms, and 19 three-bedrooms. Of the 75 units, 74 will be designated as affordable for very-low and low-income households. There will be a managers unit. The project will have a capacity for 32 cars and 50 bicycles at ground level.

Residents will also have access to 3,670 square feet of amenities. The second level will feature a community room and landscaped courtyard designed by Cliff Lowe Associates.
The project site and surrounding areas are serviced by multiple AC Transit bus lines. New tenants will be situated within walking distance of the Fruitvale BART station.
