The 2655 Shattuck Ave project took another step forward last week when The City of Berkeley filed for a Notice of Exemption for CEQA, in accordance with the standards of Infill Development Project exemptions. Studio KDA’s updated designs were released for the project last year, but site construction has been awaiting the completion of several approvals, this exemption included.
Preliminary plans have been filed for a life-science industrial project at 405 and 455 Harbor Boulevard in Belmont, San Mateo County. The proposal aims to create around 812,000 square feet of offices and parking for over a thousand cars. Beam Reach Properties is the project developer.
Plans for a 23-story UC Berkeley Dorm are expected to be discussed this Wednesday in a meeting with the Finance and Capital Strategies Committee for the Regents of the University of California. The project will bring 1,625 beds and a new dining hall to 2200 Bancroft Way in Southside, Berkeley. Construction is estimated to start as early as next year and cost nearly half a billion dollars.
The draft environmental study has been published for the eye-catching 41-story office/hotel tower and a replacement for Fire Station No. 13 at 447 Battery Street and 530 Sansome Street in San Francisco’s Financial District. The proposal shows optimism from the developer that the demand for high-end office space will return. Related California and the City are jointly responsible for the project in a public-private partnership.
New illustrations have been published alongside formal permit applications for the 26-story infill tower at 777 Sutter Street in Lower Nob Hill, San Francisco. The mixed-use plans have utilized state laws to increase residential capacity and achieve an impressive overall height from the decade-closed Fleur De Lys restaurant location. Forma is the project sponsor and architect.
