The City of Oakland has approved steps to constructing two affordable housing buildings at 101 East 12th Street in Merritt, by Downtown Oakland. The decision comes months after rejecting a mixed-income project co-sponsored by UrbanCore and the East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation. Now, EBALDC and Satellite Affordable Housing Associates are expected to develop the lot with 100% affordable housing.
The Oakland Design Review Committee is scheduled to review plans for senior housing at 51 9th Street in Downtown Oakland this afternoon. The project, dubbed Building B, is part of Lake Merritt BART Station Development Phase One, which will reshape surfacing parking with hundreds of homes. The master plan is being developed by a joint venture with Strada Investment Group and the Oakland-based East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation.
Plans for a new mixed-income tower overlooking Lake Merritt have been dashed. Oakland’s City Council voted 5-3 to reject plans to sell the city-owned vacant parcel at 101 East 12th Street to UrbanCore. The Richmond-based developer proposed building a 360-unit residential development with a mix of market-rate and low-income housing in Merritt, across from Downtown Oakland.
Plans have been filed for the affordable senior housing component of the Lake Merritt BART Development in Downtown Oakland. The plan for Block 1 Building B, at 51 9th Street, will create 97 new units, residential amenities, and a commercial kitchen. East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation is responsible for the application.
A pre-application permit has been filed for residential plans at 430 Broadway, in Oakland, located by Jack London Square. Additional reporting states the developers are planning yet more housing at the vacant structure on 401 Broadway, with roughly 600 new homes in the works. The filing is by Related and the East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation.
