Permits have been filed for a five-story residential development at 5091 MacArthur Boulevard in the Maxwell Park neighborhood of Oakland. The project will add 28 apartments across from the Mills College at Northeastern University campus. South San Francisco-based P. Jordon Construction is listed as the property owner, filing through Mills Grove LLC.

The five-story structure will yield around 47,000 square feet, including 38,300 square feet of housing and 8,500 square feet for the 28-car garage. All 28 units will have two bedrooms, and four units will be deed-restricted as affordable. These units will be priced for two very low-income households and two moderate-income households.
MBH Architects is responsible for the design. The overall scheme is not particularly inspiring, with two butterfly roof accents facing MacArthur Boulevard as the primary aesthetic flair for the otherwise boxy structure. The exterior will be clad with cement lap siding, concrete panels, and tiling to accent the southeast corner.

The vacant overgrown property spans just over 0.4 acres at the corner of MacArthur Boulevard and Simmons Street. Future residents would live across from the Mills College at Northeastern University campus. Mills College had operated from the Oakland campus from 1871 through 2022, when the institution was purchased by the Boston-based Northeastern University.
The lot is currently listed for sale by Ocean Element Real Estate, with an asking price of $3.5 million.
