Renderings have been revealed alongside increased plans for 2222 Carroll Street on Ivy Hill, Oakland. The proposal received by-right approval for a nine-story apartment complex on the narrow vacant lot, a block away from Park Boulevard and a fifteen-minute walk from Lake Merritt. Zachary Heineman of Team Projects is responsible for the application and design.
Heineman shared with YIMBY that the plans for 2222 Carroll Street received by-right approval using the Oakland S-14 overlay. He added that, “we are pursuing the first (as far as we know!) dowel-laminated timber (DLT) building in California. Above the concrete podium, we will have prefabricated cold-formed steel walls, platform-framed with the DLT floor plates. The bathrooms will be volumetric pods, and we are pursuing a single-stack plumbing system.”
The nine-story structure is expected to produce 84 efficiency units, including 17 affordable apartments. Of the 17 affordable units, seven will be deed-restricted for very low-income households, and ten will be for moderate-income households. The application requests concessions related to zoning requirements, including group open space, bicycle parking, and building height waivers.

Illustrations shared by Team Projects show a bare, concrete-looking tower with shadow box frames. The ground floor will be wrapped with vertical board siding. Further information about the structure’s form and amenities has yet to be revealed.
The first preliminary application for the site was filed in 2021, with Team Projects seeking to construct a six-story complex featuring nine units on the vacant lot. In 2023, the developer filed increased plans for 18 units across three structures. The latest application requests a by-right design review and invokes the State Density Bonus law to increase residential capacity.

The 0.13-acre property is located along Carroll Street between East 22nd Street and 23rd Street, one block from Park Boulevard and just over half a mile away from Lakeshore Avenue.
Team Projects is the architect and developer of the project, as well as the property owner. The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be shared.
