YIMBY has visited the rising neighborhood at Brooklyn Basin, positioned along Oakland’s Embarcadero waterfront. The update shows construction has topped out at Parcel J, and concrete is now rising for Parcel A Phase Two. As of now, there are 1,696 apartments complete or under construction out of an expected total of 3,700 units.
A new site visit for SFYIMBY shows four complete apartments and two more rising at Brooklyn Basin, Oakland. The waterfront mixed-use development is expected to create 3,700 new homes across twelve buildings alongside new shops, a grocery store, and 30 acres of landscaped open space. Oakland-based Signature Development Group is the overall project developer.
New aerial photographs show significant progress since April of this year for Brooklyn Basin, a mixed-use development reshaping a former industrial section of the Oakland waterfront. Six apartment building sites are in stages of development, varying from foundational work starting to residents already moved in. Oakland-based Signature Development Group is developing the project, with joint financing from Signature, Zarsion Holdings Group, and Reynolds & Brown.
Building permits have been issued for an eight-story residential building at 37 8th Avenue in the waterfront Brooklyn Basin development near Downtown Oakland. This comes after an April site visit spotted a newly-built platform rising over the waterfront for 37 8th Avenue, also known as Parcel J. Cityview is the project developer after purchasing the piece from masterplan developer Signature Development Group.
