The Julia Morgan-designed YWCA Building at 1515 Webster Street in Downtown Oakland recently changed ownership for $22.5 million. The 109-year-old Renaissance revival building is now owned by a current tenant and public charter school, with plans to bring teach housing to the top two floors. Oakland-based Highbridge Equity Partners had previously owned the property.
Preliminary plans have been filed for a 28-story senior living tower at 1800 Broadway in Redwood City, San Mateo County. Initial illustrations show the tower, right across from a Kaiser Permanente medical campus, could reach 310 feet tall, which would make is the second-tallest building in the county. Palo Alto-based R&M Properties is the project developer.

New details have been published alongside development permits for an affordable workforce housing project at 4655 Steele Street in Redwood Heights, Oakland.

Eagle Environmental Construction is the project sponsor.
