Updated plans have been submitted for the Lake Merritt BART redevelopment in Downtown Oakland, Alameda County.

A building worksheet has been submitted for the ongoing proposal at 430 Broadway in Oakland. Last reported on by SF YIMBY in December of 2025, the development plans have since progressed past interim site projects and is now ready to move forward with major building plans.
A pre-application including several basic pieces of information was submitted for a property at 316 12th Street in Oakland. The planned project would keep the property exterior unchanged, while making interior modifications to the layout and building use. The main expected change from the renovations is the conversion of its existing office and retail space to nine additional housing units and residential support spaces.
Initial permits were submitted for the grading and site preparation of a parcel at 285 12th Street in Oakland. The site is currently under a development proposal to bring 65 new units of affordable housing to Oakland’s Downtown/Chinatown neighborhood. SF YIMBY most recently reported on this project in December of 2025, when it was announced that the project’s developer EBALDC was awarded a sizable grant from the state climate action programs. Since then, the project has begun to move forward with preparation for construction.
Preliminary permits have been filed to convert a five-story hotel into housing at 988 Broadway in Downtown Oakland, Alameda County.
