Plans are underway for a five-story residential infill at 6115 Potrero Avenue in El Cerrito, Contra Costa County.

Potrero Partners LLC, led by Coldwell Banker realtor Kim Marienthal, is listed as the project sponsor.
New renderings have been revealed for the 17-story mixed-use tower expected to rise from the California Theater at 2115 Kittredge Street in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County.
