New building permits have been filed for the six-story affordable housing complex at 3431 San Pablo Avenue in Oakland, Alameda County. The project is looking to add around sixty units next to the iconic California Hotel overlooking I-580. East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation is the project developer.
The six-story structure is expected to rise around 70 feet tall, spanning 57,780 square feet, including 37,060 square feet of housing, 1,400 square feet of retail, 3,920 square feet for standard rooms, and 4000 square feet for residential services. Unit sizes will vary, with 15 studios, 30 one-bedrooms, and 15 two-bedrooms. Garage parking will be provided for 13 bicycles and 72 bicycles. Residential amenities will include on-site assistance services and outdoor community space.

David Baker Architects is the architect. Illustrations show a simple exterior scheme with white and black tones, exposed concrete pillars along the base, and a full-height ivy-green wall next to the residential lobby. Facade materials will include fiber cement siding, panels, vertical board-form concrete, perforated metal, transparent glass, and weathered steel. Sunshades above windows will help improve the interior comfort on hot sunny days.
Form/Work is responsible for the landscape architecture. The firm will oversee the design of the streetscape, rear courtyard, and green wall. The rear courtyard will extend to 34th Avenue, where residents can access the street via a sliding access gate.
