Berkeley is starting the environmental review process for the Hub, a 26-story residential tower at 2128 Oxford Street in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. The proposal is one of the tallest in the city’s development pipeline, with 485 student-oriented rental units overlooking the western edge of UC Berkeley’s campus. Core Spaces is the project developer.
Plans for a new Life Science campus dubbed Gilman Gateway in Northwest Berkeley have been pushed closer to reality. Public records show that 16 parcels have been purchased for a total of $49 million, culminating in roughly ten acres. IQHQ and Spur Capital Partners have partnered as joint developers.
New permit activity is pushing forward plans for a six-story mixed-use project at 2147 San Pablo Avenue in Southwest Berkeley, Alameda County. The proposal hopes to replace the existing auto-body shop with 128 living units above new retail. Studio KDA is leading the application and design.
Construction is moving forward on Gateway, the future home for UC Berkeley’s first new college in over half a century. The College of Computing, Data Science, and Society, or CDSS, will occupy the new structure on the northwest edge of the parcel. Weiss/Manfredi is responsible for the design.
New renderings were recently published for a residential infill project proposed for development at 1752 Shattuck Avenue in North Berkeley, Alameda County. The project proposal includes the construction of a seven-story building offering spaces for residential uses alongside retail. The project application requested to demolish an empty single-story vehicle service building on the site.
