Last week, Berkeley Moshav, the nation’s first Jewish urban cohousing complex broke ground at its site on San Pablo Ave. The four-story, mixed-use construction begins more than 10 years after the original proposal, making a historic debut for a new type of community-based housing. Urban Development + Partners has worked with Studio KDA architects and local Jewish community groups to realize this long-held dream.
New preliminary project plans have been released for a mixed-use residential complex proposed for development at 2147 San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley. The project proposal includes the construction of a new six-story mixed-use project offering spaces for residential and retail uses. The site is currently occupied by an auto-body and auto glass shop. Studio KDA is leading the application and designs.
Modified plans continue to work through the planning commission for a 23-story tower at 2115 Kittredge Street in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. The team is continuing to pursue an increased residential capacity for the property, with new documents suggesting the tower could extend nearly three hundred feet above street level, which would make it the second tallest residential structure in the city. Gilbane Development is responsible for the application.
The Berkeley Zoning Adjustment Board is scheduled to review plans for a five-story apartment complex at 2317 Channing Way in Southside, Berkeley. The proposal would bring 22 units to the narrow site, a slight increase from the 2020-era plans from the same developer. Vindium Real Estate is listed as the property owner.
A new mixed-use development has been proposed for development at 2820 San Pablo Avenue in Southwest Berkeley, Alameda County. The project proposal includes the development of two buildings offering spaces for industrial, office, and residential uses. The project requires the demolition of a one-story 12,193 square-foot non-residential building on the site. Oakland-based Cork-Mayo Investments is the project developer. Studio KDA is the project architect.
