Preliminary drawings have been published for the 39-story residential proposal at 2044 Franklin Street in Downtown Oakland, Alameda County. The application shows a rough estimate of how a new residential tower could fit within the city’s urban core, creating an estimated 425 apartments above commercial space. The application was filed by Village Glen Oakland 2, LLC, linked to R2 Building.
Crews have finished the concrete foundation pour at 1510 Webster Street in Downtown Oakland for the future 19-story mass timber tower. The project has been designed and developed by Oakland-based oWOW and will eventually become the tallest mass timber building on the West Coast and the second tallest in the country. Once complete, the development will create 222 new homes above commercial and retail space.
The Oakland Planning Commission is scheduled to review the two project plans for 1431 Franklin Street in Downtown Oakland, Alameda County. The property, less than half an acre, could produce nearly half a million square feet of office space or 381 new homes. For now, Tidewater Capital is pursuing entitlements for both versions, each with a different design.
The public review period has started for a small four-story infill at 2555 College Avenue in Elmwood, Berkeley. The plans would replace the existing vacant auto maintenance garage with 11 homes. Panoramic Interests, a San Francisco-based developer, is responsible for the proposal.
New building permits have been filed for a four-story apartment development at 950 Hough Avenue by the Lafayette BART Station in Contra Costa County. The proposal was approved in March of 2021 with 20 condominiums, including three affordable units. The Griggs Resource Group is responsible for the project, operating through 950 Hough Investors LLC.
