Preliminary permits have been filed for yet another project that could reshape the Downtown Berkeley skyline. Earlier this week, plans surfaced for a 23-story apartment tower at 2029 University Avenue, making it the fifth or sixth tallest project in the city’s pipeline. Walnut Creek-based Laconia Development is the project developer.
The Berkeley Zoning Adjustment Board is scheduled to review the 17-story apartment complex planned for 2274 Shattuck Avenue in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. The proposal has drawn significant attention as the city loses the many movie theaters that used to populate the commercial core. Panoramic Interests is the project developer.
The Berkeley Design Review Committee is scheduled to review plans tomorrow evening for the potential 17-story mixed-use tower to rise at 2274 Shattuck Avenue in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. The project is expected to make adaptive reuse of the Art Deco-style United Artists Theater facade as the entryway for a cafe and residential lobby. Panoramic Interests is responsible for the application.
The Berkeley Zoning Adjustment Board has given the final stamp of approval for a 27-story residential tower at 2128 Oxford Street in Downtown Berkeley. The project aims to add 456 larger apartments tailored for students on the western edge of the UC Berkeley campus. Chicago-based Core Spaces is responsible for the application, with planning and CEQA consultation from the Rhoades Planning Group.
New zoning permits have been filed for a slightly taller iteration of the California Theater Housing tower at 2115 Kittredge Street in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. The updates now aim to reach 23 floors above street level, retaining the planned live performance theater and adjusting the residential capacity. Rhode Island-based Gilbane Development is responsible for the project.
