Formal permits have been filed for a residential redevelopment at 1130 Oxford Street in Northbrae, Berkeley. The project will replace a formerly Berkeley Unified School District-owned school campus with 32 houses. Panoramic Interests is responsible for the application.
Studio KDA is responsible for the site plan and design. The project will produce 48,480 square feet across 32 new homes, averaging around 1,500 square feet per residence. The three-story structures will each contain a single-car garage. The application invokes Senate Bill 330 to streamline the approval process, and SB 1123 for ministerial approval of a masterplan starter home project.

The property is located along Oxford Street between Eunice Street and Los Angeles Avenue. Future residents would be a half-hour walk from Downtown Berkeley, or ten minutes by bicycle.
Demolition of the existing building is required for the development. The property has been occupied by the Oxford Public School since 1911, with the current three-story building constructed in 1965 and remodeled in the 1990s.

Not to sound like a NIMBY, but with a growing population doesn’t a school campus seem like something that makes sense to hold onto? Why was it abandoned?
