Preliminary permits have been filed for a seven-story senior living facility at 6230 Claremont Avenue in Rockridge, Oakland. The filing aims to create nearly 200 units near a bustling commercial block along College Avenue. Ellis Partners and Spirit Living Group are co-developers behind the elderly housing project.

The 82-foot-tall structure is expected to yield around 247,500 square feet, including 128,400 square feet of housing and 36,880 square feet for parking. Of the 197 units, there will be 48 studios, 99 one-bedrooms, and 50 two-bedrooms. Parking will be included for 96 cars and six bicycles.
The project will include a variety of amenities focused on socialization and experiences. The ground floor will include a gaming area, theater, fitness center, and a furnished lobby. The second floor will include a two-room community dining room connected to an open-air central courtyard. Lastly, the top floor will include a long skylounge and an outdoor terrace.
BDE Architecture is responsible for the design. The facade is expected to be clad with cement plaster, wood-look panels, and thin brick veneer. Illustrations show a podium-style complex with articulation to break apart the overall massing visually.
Ellis Partners is the project sponsor, operating on behalf of the property owners, the American National Red Cross.

The roughly one-acre property is located along Claremont Avenue close to Florio Street and College Avenue. Future residents will be across from a grocery store, close to several cafes along College Avenue, and ten minutes from the Rockridge BART Station on foot.
The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be shared.
