Plans for a 40-story residential tower in Downtown Oakland are moving forward now that a neighboring business owner has dropped an appeal following an agreement with the city. The proposal would bring 381 units to what is currently a surface parking lot at 1431 Franklin Street in the heart of the urban core. Tidewater Capital is the project developer.
Building permits have been filed for a 354-unit senior living masterplan at 850 Seven Hills Ranch Road in Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County. The development, named Glen at Heath Farm, will replace thirty acres of undeveloped open land with a four-story apartment structure, a two-story assisted living center, and over four dozen single-family homes. Spieker Senior Development Partners is responsible for the application.
A preliminary application has been submitted seeking the approval of a residential project proposed at 2018 Blake Street in Berkeley. The project proposal includes the construction of a new six-story infill structure offering 12 new housing units. Tripalink is the project developer. DNM Architecture is responsible for the design, taking over plans from the San Francisco-based Fifth Arch. RW Stover and Associates is responsible for the landscape architecture.
Preliminary plans have been filed to convert the former residence of Henry J. Kaiser into an event space at 664 Haddon Road in Cleveland Heights, Oakland. The century-old home could host small events for 20 to 40 attendees. Kaiser Permanente purchased the site in early 2017.
Demolition permits have been filed for two structures for the 2127 Dwight Way development in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. The plans would remove eight existing apartments, creating 58 new units in the city. Riaz Capital is the project applicant.
