Earlier this month, the City of Oakland announced its award of more than $35 million from state climate action programs to be invested in the development of new affordable housing and transportation infrastructure. The funds are focused on a new project being developed by the East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation at 285 12th Street in Oakland’s city center.
Updated renderings and plans have been shared with YIMBY for 2800 Telegraph Avenue in South Berkeley, Alameda County. The proposal seeks to replace a single-story commercial structure with a six-story student housing complex. The developers are Avi Forman, principal of Via Design Build, and Noah Lazarus, principal of Elmwood Capital.
Documents were submitted to CEQA for the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report on a planned project at 2036 Bancroft Way in Berkeley. The proposed project would involve the partial demolition of the site, including two residential structures and an office building annex, to make way for a new eight-story residential project.
After several rounds of proposals, the project at 1523 Harrison Street has settled on a final plan for its size and design. In 2022, project developer Owow originally proposed the Downtown Oakland site as a partner project to the nearby tower at 1510 Webster Street, but the developer has since vacillated on the exact size and scale of the building. However, final plans submitted in October of this year have now been approved by the City of Oakland, clearing the way for the development to move forward.
EAH Housing celebrated the grand opening of two affordable housing projects in Hayward, Alameda County. The developer’s dual ribbon-cutting events marked the opening of 133 units, split between Mission Paradise in South Hayward and Pimentel Place in Downtown Hayward.
