A pre-application has been filed for a 26-story residential tower at 1974 Shattuck Avenue. If approved, it would become the tallest building in Downtown Berkeley, and among the tallest residential buildings in Alameda County. The proposal aims to produce 297 new homes and a rooftop restaurant with views across the Bay Area. The application is led by NX Ventures, Rhoades Planning Group, and Trachtenberg Architects.
Preliminary permits have been filed for a nine-story residential infill at 2847 Shattuck Avenue in South Berkeley. The proposal would create 112 new homes with some affordable units nearby mass transit and directly across from the city’s famed grocery destination, Berkeley Bowl. Trachtenberg Architects is listed as responsible for the design.
It’s an unfortunate feat few construction projects achieve. The seven-story residential infill at 2067 University Avenue has topped out for the second time in two years in Downtown Berkeley. The first tower, nearly finished, was destroyed by a six-alarm fire in November of 2020. The site is once again poised to add 50 units to the city’s housing market.
A new mixed-use project has been proposed at 2601 San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley. The project proposal includes the development of an eight-story high mixed-use building offering residential, commercial, and parking spaces. Plans call for the demolition of existing commercial buildings on the site. NX Ventures is the project developer. Trachtenberg Architects is responsible for the design concepts.
Expanded permits have been filed for a nine-story residential infill at 3000 Shattuck Avenue in South Berkeley. The application marks a significant increase from plans filed by a different developer in 2017 for 23 co-living apartments. Now, NX Ventures has proposed building 156 new homes on the same corner lot, within walking distance from groceries, shops, AC Transit, and the Ashby BART Station.
