New affordable housing has officially opened at 2121 Wood Street in West Oakland, Alameda County. The project team and local politicians gathered for a ceremonial ribbon-cutting event at Prescott Station, a six-story apartment complex with over two hundred units and commercial retail space overlooking the Oakland Ballers ballpark. Turner Impact Capital was the project developer.
A formal building worksheet has been submitted for a proposed development at the former site of the historic “Trader Vic’s” in North Oakland. Once redeveloped, the 6500 San Pablo Avenue property is to become a 5-Story mixed use building, with 10 residential units spread across the upper 4 stories, and a ground floor commercial space.
The Oakland Planning Department has approved plans for a five-story affordable senior housing development at 2500 76th Avenue in Eastmont, Oakland. The proposal will replace a vacant lot with 91 homes and a community room. The project is co-sponsored by Eden Housing and Black Cultural Zone Community Development Corporation.
The plans for a church to residential conversion were recently approved by the City of Oakland, taking a major step forward in a long-awaited affordable housing project. The 1433 12th Avenue site is already home to the 1887-built Brooklyn Presbyterian Church and Parish Hall, which is to be converted and incorporated into the project. Brooklyn Arms Apartments is listed as the project owner, with Strive Wealth Builders acting as a project sponsor.
Formal permits have been filed for the potential six-story affordable housing complex at 111 Fairmount Avenue in the Oakland Avenue/Harrison Street neighborhood of Oakland, Alameda County. The proposal looks to replace the nearly century-old church with a community-oriented apartment development. The Unity Council is responsible for the project.
