Preliminary plans have been filed for a warehouse-to-housing conversion at 2834 8th Street in West Berkeley, Alameda County. The project is looking to bring four units to existing commercial space across from the Berkeley Bowl West grocery store. Kava Massih Architects is responsible for the application.
A final application was submitted for design review of a proposed project at 2138 Kittredge Street in Berkeley. The eight-story residential proposal, brought by The Austin Group, was first reported on by SF YIMBY in August of 2024, and a previous design review meeting was held in August of 2025. Since then, developers have remained consistent in their exterior designs, with only minor modifications made to the interior layout. The final design review application will approve these changes.
The Berkeley Zoning Adjustments Board is scheduled to review modified plans tomorrow evening for the 26-story residential tower for 2128 Oxford Street in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. Chicago-based Core Spaces is responsible for the application, with planning and CEQA consultation from the Rhoades Planning Group.
New permits were filed earlier this month for a proposed development at 2298 Durant Avenue in Berkeley. The site’s owners, Valiance Capital, came forward in March with revised plans to build a seven-story apartment building on the site. The zoning permits filed this month will require city approval to change the existing non-residential property into a 45-unit mid-rise.
Formal development permits have been filed for the seven-story senior housing facility at 6230 Claremont Avenue in Rockridge, Oakland. The application invokes Senate Bill 330 and the State Density Bonus law to streamline the approval process, though the project does not use a density bonus. San Francisco-based Ellis Partners is the project applicant and co-owner with Spirit Living Group.
