City Council Rejects Landmark Attempt of 2421 Durant Avenue, Berkeley
The Berkeley City Council has rejected an attempt to landmark a 139-year-old building that is expected to be replaced by a 20-story apartment tower in Southside, Berkeley. The Laura Tull property was built in 1886 at 2421 Durant Avenue, and is one of only a few remaining examples of Stick style architecture in the UC Berkeley campus area. Future plans for the site are expected to provide 169 apartments, including 19 units of replacement affordable housing. Qian Wang of Collabhome is the project developer.
