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.
A new mixed-use project has been proposed at 2601 San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley. The project proposal includes the development of an eight-story high mixed-use building offering residential, commercial, and parking spaces. Plans call for the demolition of existing commercial buildings on the site. NX Ventures is the project developer. Trachtenberg Architects is responsible for the design concepts.
Construction has topped out for The Artisan, a seven-story residential infill by transit in Downtown Berkeley. The project will create 66 new apartments and ground-level retail at 2072 Addison Street, within walking distance of BART. Kirk Peterson & Associates, an Oakland-based firm, is responsible for the revivalist design.
A preliminary design review has been scheduled for a parking structure at 2213 Fourth Street in Berkeley. The project proposal includes the development of a parking garage rising five-stories high. Plans call for the demolition of three existing non-residential buildings and one duplex on the site. Steelwave and Overaa Construction are both on the project construction team.
