The race for the tallest building in Berkeley continues, and it is a contest of single-digit differences. Updated plans have been filed with the Berkeley Planning Department for 2128 Oxford Street, which raises the project to 26 floors and 284 feet tall. The plans are now the tallest proposed building for Downtown Berkeley, extending just seven feet over 1974 Shattuck Avenue.
The Berkeley City Council has approved plans for a six-story apartment building at 1201 San Pablo Avenue, Northwest Berkeley. Plans for the project advanced through the city’s approval process with few changes. The project will replace a vacant lot with 66 new homes. Trachtenberg Architects is responsible for the design. The Miller Company is responsible for the landscape architecture.
