New plans have been revealed with a pre-application for 1652 University Avenue in Central Berkeley. The project will replace a two-story commercial structure with a five-story mixed-use infill with housing and retail. Studio KDA, a Berkeley-based firm, is responsible for the design.
Construction has topped out for The Artisan, a seven-story residential infill by transit in Downtown Berkeley. The project will create 66 new apartments and ground-level retail at 2072 Addison Street, within walking distance of BART. Kirk Peterson & Associates, an Oakland-based firm, is responsible for the revivalist design.
A new rendering has been revealed for the 12-story mixed-use project at 860 West San Carlos Street in Midtown, San Jose. The proposal will reshape a vacant lot with 263 new homes adjacent to existing high-density apartments and near Diridon Station. Swenson and Republic Urban Properties are jointly responsible for the development.
Excavation work is nearly finished for the Helen Diller Anchor House, a new UC Berkeley student dorm. The $300 million project will create 772 apartment-style bedrooms and additional facilities for the university and community at 1921 Walnut Street in Downtown Berkeley. Morris Adjmi Architects is responsible for the design.
New building permits have been filed for 2550 Irving Street, a 100 percent affordable housing project in San Francisco’s Sunset District. The seven-story project will create 90 units less than a block away from Golden Gate Park. The Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation is responsible for the application.
