It’s an unfortunate feat few construction projects achieve. The seven-story residential infill at 2067 University Avenue has topped out for the second time in two years in Downtown Berkeley. The first tower, nearly finished, was destroyed by a six-alarm fire in November of 2020. The site is once again poised to add 50 units to the city’s housing market.
New plans have been revealed with a pre-application for 1652 University Avenue in Central Berkeley. The project will replace a two-story commercial structure with a five-story mixed-use infill with housing and retail. Studio KDA, a Berkeley-based firm, is responsible for the design.
Excavation work is nearly finished for the Helen Diller Anchor House, a new UC Berkeley student dorm. The $300 million project will create 772 apartment-style bedrooms and additional facilities for the university and community at 1921 Walnut Street in Downtown Berkeley. Morris Adjmi Architects is responsible for the design.
New renderings have been revealed for the seven-story residential infill at 300 Mosley Avenue, located in the Admirals Cove residential community in Alameda, Alameda County. Carmel Partners, who purchased the former Navy housing site in 2017, is responsible for the application. The proposal will create 227 homes along with new public open space.
New renderings have been revealed for the six-story residential development at 7300 MacArthur Boulevard in Eastmont, Oakland. The project will replace the vacant parcel with roughly 200 units, including 20 affordable units. RMG Housing, a Los Angeles-based developer, is responsible for the application.
