Since our last story, renderings show what could become the tallest skyscraper in Oakland. Plans are heading to the city’s Design Review Committee next Wednesday for the 622-foot office building at 415 20th Street, Downtown…
Plans for a 622-foot office tower at 415 20th Street are heading to the Oakland Design Review Committee on January 27th. If it is built as proposed, the tower will become the tallest skyscraper in Downtown Oakland and the tallest building in California to not be in Los Angeles or San Francisco. The review requests permit approval for the design, conditional use for a large project, and variance for the maximum setback. Ultimately, the Oakland Planning Commission will make the final decision. Hines is backing the proposal, working through 415 20th Street LLC.
Permits have been filed for the first phase of alterations on the new BART headquarters at 2150 Webster Street, Downtown Oakland. The move will keep the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) agency located in the city center while saving an estimated fifth of a billion dollars on rent over a twenty-five year period. The move is estimated to cost $227 million.
Alteration permits have been filed to refurbish an existing structure to bring forty-five new units at 622 14th Street, Downtown Oakland. The project would bring additional activity to the static site that’s just three and a half blocks from the 12th Street BART Station. Vaughn Management Group is listed as responsible for the development.
1888 MLK, a new six-story residential development, has broken ground at 1888 Martin Luther King Jr Way in Downtown Oakland. Once complete, the surface parking lot will be replaced with 88 modern studio apartments. Prefab Logistics is partnering with Oakland-based architecture firm Baran Studios for this urban in-fill project.
