A pre-application has been filed for a 26-story residential tower at 1974 Shattuck Avenue. If approved, it would become the tallest building in Downtown Berkeley, and among the tallest residential buildings in Alameda County. The proposal aims to produce 297 new homes and a rooftop restaurant with views across the Bay Area. The application is led by NX Ventures, Rhoades Planning Group, and Trachtenberg Architects.
New plans have been filed for an affordable housing project at 2301 Telegraph Avenue in Northgate-Waverly, Oakland. The seven-story proposal will replace a single-story commercial building with 58 homes. Mithun is listed as the project architect.
A new residential project has been approved for development at 3765-3789 Castro Valley Boulevard in Alameda County. The project proposal includes the development of a mixed-use condominium project with townhomes, accessory dwelling units, and retail space. The project will be developed at the former “Tra-Tel” mobile home park. City Ventures is the project developer. Fourner Design Studio (FDS) is responsible for the design concepts.
Partial demolition is the likely fate for the California Theatre at 2113 Kittredge Street in Downtown Berkeley. The over century-old theater was closed last year as the property owners now look to redevelop with housing, and reporting suggests the project could be around fifteen stories tall. Gilbane Development is sponsoring the project.
Less than a month after YIMBY covered new renderings, the Oakland Design Review Committee is scheduled to review plans for 1919 Webster Street in Downtown Oakland. The meeting, scheduled for today at 3 PM, will review plans for two projects rising either 280 or 400 feet high. Ellis Partners is responsible for the application.
