Preliminary permits have been filed for yet another project that could reshape the Downtown Berkeley skyline. Earlier this week, plans surfaced for a 23-story apartment tower at 2029 University Avenue, making it the fifth or sixth tallest project in the city’s pipeline. Walnut Creek-based Laconia Development is the project developer.
Development permits have been filed for the 20-story apartment tower at 2425 Durant Avenue in Berkeley’s Southside neighborhood. The application seeks to replace two low-slung residential structures with 117 apartments. Qian Wang of Collabhome is listed as the property owner through 2425 Durant Avenue LLC.
Updated renderings have been published alongside the final design review meeting for 2587 Telegraph Avenue in Southside, Berkeley. The proposal will replace a two-story retail structure with an eight-story apartment complex, adding 52 apartments above retail one block from People’s Park. Gilbane Development Company is the project developer.
New zoning permits have been filed for a slightly taller iteration of the California Theater Housing tower at 2115 Kittredge Street in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. The updates now aim to reach 23 floors above street level, retaining the planned live performance theater and adjusting the residential capacity. Rhode Island-based Gilbane Development is responsible for the project.
The Berkeley Zoning Adjustments Board is scheduled to have its final vote tomorrow evening on the 26-story residential tower proposed for 2128 Oxford Street in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. The proposal, named the Hub at Berkeley, is one of three in the city’s pipeline poised to redefine the city skyline and would be the first to be approved. Chicago-based Core Spaces is responsible for the application, with planning and CEQA consultation from the Rhoades Planning Group.
