Construction has started for the Lair, an eight-story mixed-use project at 2440 Shattuck Avenue in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. Demolition has already cleared the former single-story structure, with crews working to create the forty new homes and retail adjacent to several new and proposed projects. The Austin Group is the project developer.
The Final Environmental Impact Report has been published for Willow Village, the 59-acre mixed-use development proposed for Menlo Park in San Mateo County. The masterplan imagines a dense campus with offices, housing, a hotel, and public open space functioning as a new neighborhood and a working destination for the Facebook parent company, Meta. Signature Development Group and Peninsula Innovation Partners are the project developer.
New details have been published for the seven-story mixed-use structure for 3801 Telegraph Avenue in Mosswood, Oakland. The project would replace a vacant single-story structure with 158 new homes within walking distance from BART. Riaz Capital is the project developer.
The race for the tallest building in Berkeley continues, and it is a contest of single-digit differences. Updated plans have been filed with the Berkeley Planning Department for 2128 Oxford Street, which raises the project to 26 floors and 284 feet tall. The plans are now the tallest proposed building for Downtown Berkeley, extending just seven feet over 1974 Shattuck Avenue.
The CIM Group has submitted pre-application documents for a new 46-story residential tower at 325 22nd Street, named Town Tower, in Downtown Oakland. If built today, the project would be the tallest addition to the Alameda County skyline, rising 487 feet tall, well above the current 404-foot Ordway Building. The new plans are a shift away from 2017-era plans by CIM for an office tower at the same location.
