Formal permits have been filed for the six-story affordable complex at 2610 International Boulevard in Fruitvale, Oakland. The project will create over a hundred homes with a childcare facility. The Unity Council is responsible for the application.
The 65-foot tall complex will connect a five-story block and a six-story L-shaped structure with sky bridges over podium-level garages and outdoor courtyards. The complex will yield 125,900 square feet, including 105 apartments, 9,420 square feet for the garage, 7,700 square feet for child-care facilities, and 3,770 square feet of common space. According to the developer, the site will become a home for The Unity Council’s Early Head Start preschool program. Unit types will vary, with nine studios, 38 one-bedrooms, 28 two-bedrooms, and 30 three-bedrooms. Parking will be included for 69 cars and 160 bicycles.
David Baker Architects is responsible for the design. The podium-style buildings will be articulated with a range of brick and white stucco cladding. Additional variations to the facade will be added with aluminum sunshades, storefront curtain wall glass, and blue-glazed bricks rising over the central courtyard. Overlooking International Boulevard, the rooftop deck will connect to an amenity lounge and multi-purpose room.
The 0.82-acre property is located along International Boulevard between 26th and 27th Avenue. The site, currently occupied by a surface parking lot, is under a mile away from the Fruitvale BART Station. Downtown Oakland is under 20 minutes away via AC Transit or bicycle.
The development will be priced for low-income households earning at or less than 80% of the area’s median income. The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be shared.
