The University of California at Berkeley has made clear its intention to move forward with its largest-ever student housing project. The proposed building would reach 26 stories, rising 3 more above the university’s next largest project, currently under construction at Bancroft Way and Fulton Street.
Construction is now underway for the 23-story Bancroft-Fulton Student Housing complex at 2200 Bancroft Way in Southside, Berkeley. The project is set to become the tallest building in Berkeley, surpassing a 55-year-old office building, but still shorter than the landmark Sather Tower clock tower. UC Berkeley Capital Strategies is responsible for the development.
Crews have completed demolition of University Hall and its annex building at 2140 University Avenue in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. Our recent site visit shows the parcel is currently graded in preparation for the first of two phases to rise for the UC Berkeley Innovation Zone development, the six-story Bakar Labs for Energy & Materials.
New details have been published alongside a recent public meeting for a 23-story student dorm at 2200 Bancroft Way in Southside, Berkeley. The undergraduate dorm is expected to replace a university-owned two-story commercial structure and surface parking lot with as many as 1,634 beds and a new dining facility. UC Berkeley Capital Strategies is responsible for the application.
