Adeline Alliance Team has been selected to redevelop the Ashby BART Station in the south of Berkeley, Alameda County. The successful vision proposes a densely packed mixed-use hub that ties together community needs and residential services below hundreds of apartments. The project is currently in its preliminary stages as the team and city enter an exclusive negotiation agreement.
The Berkeley City Council has rejected an attempt to landmark a 139-year-old building that is expected to be replaced by a 20-story apartment tower in Southside, Berkeley. The Laura Tull property was built in 1886 at 2421 Durant Avenue, and is one of only a few remaining examples of Stick style architecture in the UC Berkeley campus area. Future plans for the site are expected to provide 169 apartments, including 19 units of replacement affordable housing. Qian Wang of Collabhome is the project developer.
Preliminary permits have been submitted for a five-story affordable housing complex at 3073 International Boulevard in Fruitvale, Oakland. The proposal would replace an empty lot and two structures, including the Ghost Ship Warehouse, the site of a horrific fatal fire in 2016. Local developer Unity Council hopes to bring new low-income housing to the corner lot.
