Construction has officially started for a new senior housing community at 2125 Telegraph Avenue in Uptown, Oakland. The eight-story project, named The Eliza, will bring nearly 100 apartments for residents aged 62 and older to a corner lot near the 19th Street BART Station. Mercy Housing California is the project developer.
Last Week, the Berkeley City Council met to discuss the proposal of a new eight-story apartment building located at 2109 Virginia Street. Despite pushback from some community members, the city council chose to unanimously approve the project as a source of much-needed housing for the neighborhood. Once completed, the project will bring 110 new units of housing within easy walking distance of Downtown Berkeley.
Formal permits have been filed for the eight-story mixed-use development at 2455 Telegraph Avenue in Southside, Berkeley. The project is looking to create 68 new apartments and a new home for the Amoeba Record Store. Amoeba co-owners Dave Prinz and Marc Weinstein are jointly responsible for the development.
Demolition permits have been filed for two two-story commercial structures at 2712 and 2714 Telegraph Avenue in South Berkeley, Alameda County. The project would replace the older buildings with 50 student-oriented apartments in a six-story building. Panoramic Interests is responsible for the application.
New permits have been filed for the construction of an 88-unit building located at 8301 Macarthur Boulevard in the Eastmont neighborhood of Oakland. The project was previously reported on by SF YIMBY in 2024, when initial approvals came through for the site. The new permits reflect a small increase in scale for the site, raising the total number of units by 6. The development is still sponsored by V23 Investments.
