Preliminary permits have been filed for a mid-rise residential development at 2727 Haste Street in Southside, Berkeley. The project will offer student-oriented dwellings, including 154 beds across the six-story building, just three blocks away from the UC Berkeley campus. The Austin Group is the project sponsor.
The plans for a project at 952-960 Howard Street have been revised several times from the original proposal. The newest project revision would make the building larger than the first design, but smaller than some of the other earlier concepts. oWow is listed as both developer and architect for the project.
Revised plans have been filed for the abandoned construction site at 4400 Martin Luther King Junior Way in Oakland, Alameda County. The topped-out project is located close to the MacArthur BART Station, overlooking California State Route 24. The latest filing shifts the project from offering 57 apartments to 144 units in a fully affordable development, dubbed The Refuge Apartments. Hybridge Capital Management is responsible for the redevelopment.
Plans have been published for a potential new housing project on top of the Amoeba Music record store at 2455 Telegraph Avenue in Southside, Berkeley. The proposal would add seven floors of housing above the existing store, retaining the site’s nearly 50-year-old landmarked murals. Amoeba co-owners Dave Prinz and Marc Weinstein are jointly responsible for the development.
The proposed Marinwood Plaza Housing would build 125 new affordable units at 121-197 Marinwood Avenue in unincorporated land of Marin County. Legal challenges to the project were filed by Marinwood Coalition Against Segregation, which claimed that the project violated the proscribed maximum ratio of affordable units per property. However, the challenge was voluntarily withdrawn earlier this month, clearing the way for the development to move forward.
