Resources for Community Development has opened a six-story and 87-unit project located at 2001 Ashby Avenue in South Berkeley. The project, named after Councilwoman Maudelle Miller Shirek, was first brought in 2021, with ground-breaking occurring in 2022. Delays caused the building to overshoot its projected opening date in 2024, but the project has now made it to completion, and is moving in tenants.
Planning permits have been filed for a potential residential expansion at 140 Montecito Avenue in Adams Point, Oakland. The application looks to replace most parking and a laundry room with five new ground-level apartments. Eloyan Architects is responsible for the design.
The transit-oriented neighborhood is continuing to grow across from the West Dublin BART Station in Dublin, Alameda County. Construction has officially started on the latest addition, a new affordable senior housing complex at 7750 Saint Patrick Way, with over a hundred homes. Eden Housing is the project developer working in collaboration with the City of Dublin.
The City of Oakland’s Planning and Building Department has approved development permits for an eight-story mixed use building on a vacant parking lot in Downtown Oakland. The narrow parking lot is located at 585 17th Street, between Clay and Jefferson. Developers FH1 Investments have brought in BDE Architecture for the project design.
Revised plans were approved for an eight-story mixed-use building at 419 4th Street in Oakland’s Jack London neighborhood. The original project was reported on by SF YIMBY in November of 2022 but has been undergoing planning and approvals since then. Project owner Smart Growth and Architects Lowney Arch submitted revised plans in late 2023 which have now been approved.
