The race for the tallest building in Berkeley continues, and it is a contest of single-digit differences. Updated plans have been filed with the Berkeley Planning Department for 2128 Oxford Street, which raises the project to 26 floors and 284 feet tall. The plans are now the tallest proposed building for Downtown Berkeley, extending just seven feet over 1974 Shattuck Avenue.
The CIM Group has submitted pre-application documents for a new 46-story residential tower at 325 22nd Street, named Town Tower, in Downtown Oakland. If built today, the project would be the tallest addition to the Alameda County skyline, rising 487 feet tall, well above the current 404-foot Ordway Building. The new plans are a shift away from 2017-era plans by CIM for an office tower at the same location.
New renderings have been published for the affordable senior housing proposal at 1003 East 15th Street in Merritt, Oakland. The project will be named the Dr. Kenneth Anderson Senior Living apartment complex, offering 68 units and replacement parking for the adjacent Williams Chapel Baptist Church. Eden Housing is the project developer.
New renderings have been revealed, and development permits have been filed for a seven-story mixed-use infill at 707 Washington Street in Downtown Oakland, Alameda County. The application uses the State Density Bonus program, adding affordable housing to increase the capacity from 25 to 38 units. Schaub Li Architects is responsible for the design.
Crews have successfully completed a 600 cubic yard concrete matt pour for 2359 Harrison Street, the future site of a 16-story mixed-use complex in Northgate-Waverly, Oakland. Once complete, the project will add 328 new homes and 13,200 square feet of retail to the 24th and Waverly intersection. Holland Partner Group is responsible for the development.
