Plans for a 23-story UC Berkeley Dorm are expected to be discussed this Wednesday in a meeting with the Finance and Capital Strategies Committee for the Regents of the University of California. The project will bring 1,625 beds and a new dining hall to 2200 Bancroft Way in Southside, Berkeley. Construction is estimated to start as early as next year and cost nearly half a billion dollars.
The Berkeley Zoning Adjustments Board is scheduled to review plans for the 28-story residential proposal at 1950-1998 Shattuck Avenue in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. If approved, the project may become the tallest residential tower to be approved with streamlining from Senate Bill 330. NX Ventures and Rhoades Planning Group are jointly responsible for the application.
New preliminary project plans have been released for a mixed-use residential complex proposed for development at 2147 San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley. The project proposal includes the construction of a new six-story mixed-use project offering spaces for residential and retail uses. The site is currently occupied by an auto-body and auto glass shop. Studio KDA is leading the application and designs.
The Berkeley Design Review Committee is scheduled to review plans for an eight-story apartment complex to rise at 2655 Shattuck Avenue in South Berkeley, Alameda County. Plans for the site were first revealed in late 2023, with formal permits filed in May last year. The proposal could bring nearly a hundred units along the major thoroughfare equidistant between the Downtown and Ashby BART stations.
Modified plans continue to work through the planning commission for a 23-story tower at 2115 Kittredge Street in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. The team is continuing to pursue an increased residential capacity for the property, with new documents suggesting the tower could extend nearly three hundred feet above street level, which would make it the second tallest residential structure in the city. Gilbane Development is responsible for the application.
