Development permits have been approved for the proposed six-story affordable housing infill at 3419 San Pablo Avenue in West Oakland, Alameda County. The proposal, led by East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation, will replace a surface parking lot and small structures next to the California Hotel with 60 new homes. Residents will be given access to a community space and residential services.
For the last twelve days of the year, SF YIMBY will look back on each month and share the biggest stories we covered. March was the month of construction updates across the East Bay, San Francisco, and San Mateo County. Crews started on the new CCA campus in San Francisco, a new Life Sciences complex started to rise across from the Millbrae Station, and several urban infills were spotted rising in Berkeley. In Downtown Oakland, YIMBY visited the peak of Behring Co’s 39-story apartment tower.
Project plans have been published for a seven-story infill at 1899 Oxford Street in North Berkeley, Alameda County. The project will create over a hundred homes on the northwest corner of the UC Berkeley Campus and ten minutes on foot from Downtown Berkeley BART. Berkland Foundation is listed as the property owner.
Forge Development Partners just announced its development proposed at 468 Turk Street in Tenderloin, San Francisco. The project proposes to construct a nine-story building offering 90 residential units. The residential building will provide residents with an affordable, modern and elegantly designed living experience in a sustainable development that will enrich the Tenderloin for years to come. Turk Street LLC is responsible for the development, with Maddern Construction serving as the contractor. Macy Architecture is responsible for the designs.
For the last twelve days of this year, SF YIMBY will look back on each month and share the biggest stories we covered. In February, Builder’s Remedy finally reached the Bay Area when plans for 21 units in Los Altos Hills revealed the discrepancy between what cities allowed and what some property owners wanted to build. Several towers showed permitting progress in Downtown Oakland and San Jose. Meanwhile, rare news from the North Bay came when public comment opened for what could become the largest affordable housing project built in Marin County in over 50 years.
