The Berkeley Design Review Committee is scheduled to review plans tomorrow evening for the potential 17-story mixed-use tower to rise at 2274 Shattuck Avenue in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. The project is expected to make adaptive reuse of the Art Deco-style United Artists Theater facade as the entryway for a cafe and residential lobby. Panoramic Interests is responsible for the application.
Construction has officially started for the six-story affordable housing project at 3300 Mission Street in San Francisco’s Mission Bernal corridor. The groundbreaking ceremony was held last Thursday with the developers, Mayor London Breed, State Senate Scott Weiner, and Supervisor Hillary Ronen. The project is notable for making adaptive reuse of the existing burnt-out structure while doubling the site’s height to yield 35 units on less than a tenth of an acre.
Plans have slightly increased for the eight-story residential apartment complex at 486-496 West San Carlos Street in San Jose, Santa Clara County. The development, renamed Madera Residential, has increased by six units for a total of 278 apartments. In April this year, the developer Urban Catalyst received a $6.1 million loan to pursue construction.
Revised plans have been submitted for El Paseo de Saratoga, the proposed partial redevelopment of a strip mall shopping center in West San Jose, Santa Clara County. The latest iteration cuts 325 units and adds a senior assisted living facility. Sand Hill Property Company is responsible for the development.
Renderings have been revealed for the dense residential infill at 211-281 River Oaks Parkway in North San Jose, Santa Clara County. The proposal will create over seven hundred residences between townhomes and apartments on the nearly ten-acre parcel. Valley Oak Partners is the project developer.
