Preliminary permits have been filed for a new project at 5885 Skyline Boulevard in the Oakland Hills. The proposal shows an increase from the two previous iterations by the same developer to replace 40 acres overlooking the highway roads approaching the Caldecott Tunnel and the North Oakland Regional Sports Center. The property owner is listed as the Novato-based SJ Management LLC.

SJ Management LLC first submitted a proposal in 2016, detailing 50 single-family houses and a senior care facility. By 2019, the proposal expanded to 198 dwelling units, including 67 single-family homes and a 131-unit senior housing complex.
The latest iteration for 5885 Skyline Boulevard would subdivide the 40 acres into 56 lots, including 54 single-family houses and six multi-family buildings. Full build-out would produce 216 dwelling units.

The irregularly shaped property is located just off Skyline Boulevard, close to Grizzly Peak Boulevard and Tunnel Road. The forested property was part of the historic Merriewood tract, covered with a thick canopy of Eucalyptus trees, Oaks, Redwoods, and other trees.
Further details about the proposal and design scheme have not been shared yet. The estimated construction cost has not been established. Coverage by YIMBY is not considered support for any individual projects.
