Progress has been made on the foundation of a seven-story affordable housing complex at 2016 Ashby Avenue in South Berkeley, Alameda County. The project is adding 50 apartments to the backyard of the St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church. Nibbi Brothers General Contractors is responsible for construction, and Community Housing Development Corporation is the developer.
Preliminary permits have been filed for a small residential conversion at 2615 Ashby Avenue in Elmwood, Berkeley. The proposal would remodel a medical office’s second floor into apartments, retaining the facility’s ground floor space. The property owner is listed as a Berkeley-based LLC.
The monthly meeting of Berkeley’s Design Review Committee will be held tomorrow to discuss projects including a proposed housing development at 2330 Prince Street in Berkeley. The project is being brought by ArtHaus Partners, a group known for its turnkey-style housing units across the Bay Area. They are currently proposing the redevelopment of the site into 23 such units, including 1 affordable unit.
The Berkeley Zoning Adjustment Board is expected to review plans tonight for an eight-story mixed-use complex at 2700 Shattuck Avenue in South Berkeley, Alameda County. The proposal would add over three hundred apartment units and retail across from the Y-shaped intersection between Shattuck Avenue and Adeline Street. Hudson McDonald is responsible for the application.
The Zoning Adjustments Board in Berkeley will meet tomorrow and discuss approving a use permit for 2614 Telegraph Avenue. The proposed project at that site would require the demolition of a small residential building on the site and a small commercial building on the adjacent property. The two parcels would then be merged, creating a larger L-Shaped lot that would be accessible from both Telegraph Avenue and Carleton Street.
