The main building permits were filed for a new six-story affordable housing development located at 2700 International Boulevard in Oakland. The site is being developed by The Unity Council, and will consist of a mixed-use 100% affordable housing in keeping with the non-profit’s model for development.
The Phoenix housing development is now opening its doors at 811 Pine Street in Oakland. The property was originally reported on by SF YIMBY under the site’s previous address of 801 Pine Street. However, the site has now been broken down into five distinct buildings, with the 101-unit building at 811 Pine Street now completed.
Earlier this week, the San Ramon City Council voted unanimously to reject an appeal that would have halted redevelopment of the former Chevron office park site along Bollinger Canyon Road in San Ramon. The proposed 144-acre redevelopment would bring more than 2,500 new units of housing to the site, a significant increase for a city of less than 100,000 residents.
A final application was submitted for design review of a proposed project at 2138 Kittredge Street in Berkeley. The eight-story residential proposal, brought by The Austin Group, was first reported on by SF YIMBY in August of 2024, and a previous design review meeting was held in August of 2025. Since then, developers have remained consistent in their exterior designs, with only minor modifications made to the interior layout. The final design review application will approve these changes.
New permits were filed earlier this month for a proposed development at 2298 Durant Avenue in Berkeley. The site’s owners, Valiance Capital, came forward in March with revised plans to build a seven-story apartment building on the site. The zoning permits filed this month will require city approval to change the existing non-residential property into a 45-unit mid-rise.
