Increased plans have been filed for a vacant lot at 707 Washington Street, between 7th and 8th Street in Downtown Oakland. The newest proposal expects to create 50 new homes, up from a 24-unit application in 2014. Ronnie Turner of Turner Development Resource Group is responsible for the project.

Stephen Antonaros Architect is responsible for the design. The San Francisco-based architecture firm was founded by the eponymous architect in 1981.
Residents will be close to the city’s urban core to the north and the waterfront Jack London neighborhood to the South. Along with AC Transit buses, residents will be just five minutes walk from the 12th Street Oakland BART Station.
