Berkeley’s Landmark Preservation Commission has voted to protect the United Artists Theater’s facade at 2274 Shattuck Avenue but not the rest of the structure. The decision will be reviewed by the City Council in a public meeting next Tuesday. After that, the developer, Panoramic Interests, is expected to have a clear pathway to start construction for the 227-unit tower once funding is secured.
New permits have been submitted for phase one of the affordable senior housing development at 793 West Grand Avenue in West Oakland, Alameda County. Joshua Christian Church is the project sponsor, with plans to replace its existing church with a new religious facility below the apartments. Community Housing Development Corporation is the project developer.
Zoning and Design Review permits have been filed for the four-story mixed-use infill at 2614 Telegraph Avenue in South Berkeley, Alameda County. The proposal will bring 19 co-living units and retail just two blocks from People’s Park. Gunkel Architecture is responsible for the design.
Development permits have been filed for improvements to Raimondi Field at 1689 20th Street in West Oakland, Alameda County. The redesign will adjust an existing baseball field to meet the Pioneer Baseball League regulations for the newly formed Oakland Ballers team. The City of Oakland owns the field.
Permits have been filed for the residential development at 2660 and 2680 Bancroft Way in Southside, Berkeley. The updated plans will construct an eight-story apartment infill at 2660 Bancroft Way but have forgone additional housing to pursue an office conversion of the former Bancroft Hotel. Daryl Ross is the property owner, filing through AMI LLC.
