The BART Board of Directors has voted to approve plans for the Lake Merritt Transit-Oriented Development in Downtown Oakland. The approval is a significant step towards reshaping two low-rise lots with two towers and two mid-density buildings containing affordable and market-rate housing and offices. The Board President, Rebecca Saltzman, says construction will start in 2024.
A preliminary application has been filed seeking the approval of a mixed-use project proposed at 6341 Shattuck Avenue in Oakland. The project proposal includes the development of a three-story mixed-use apartment building. Plans call for the demolition of an existing one-story commercial building on the site.
Demolition permits have been filed for five structures ahead of construction for 2929 Broadway on Pill Hill, Oakland. The 0.93-acre site will be replaced with a seven-story apartment complex to be named Ambrose. Martin Group is the project developer, with development permits approved just over a month ago.
Development permits have been approved for 10500 International Boulevard, a five-story affordable housing project by the southern border of Oakland, Alameda County. The project, named Hestia, will create 210 affordable homes and is the final phase of a three-phase development by AMG & Associates.
Development permits have been approved for a six-story affordable housing proposal at 3751 International Boulevard in Fruitvale, Oakland. The decision comes just eight months after the pre-application was submitted. Oakbrook Partners is the project developer.
