Preliminary permits have been filed for an affordable housing infill at 1227 33rd Avenue by the Fruitvale BART Station in Oakland, Alameda County. The project will bring new senior housing to a vacant parcel next to the transit stop. Unity Council is responsible for the application.
The pre-application does not include any additional information for the project beyond the parcel location, and the developer is invoking Senate Bill 330 to streamline the approval process. The developer’s proposal will alter the 0.17-acre parcel at the corner of East 12th Street and 33rd Avenue. Future residents will be across from the Fruitvale Village, a mid-rise neighborhood of housing offices and retail developed over the last couple of decades by Unity Council.

In the last week, new details have surfaced for two nearby proposals by Unity Council in the pipeline. This includes renderings for 2610 International Boulevard and the pre-application filing to replace the former Ghost Ship Warehouse site at 3073 International Boulevard.
Self-Help Ventures Fund is listed as the property owner. The fund is an off-shoot of the Center for Community Self-Help, a nationwide non-profit founded in 1980 with operations in California, Illinois, Washington, and Wisconsin focused on financial assistance.
Unity Council has yet to reply to a request for more information.

YIKES!

More great progress by Fruitvale BART. It’s a shame they couldn’t cover the adjacent parking lots.
