The Planning Commission meeting is scheduled for tonight to review plans for the townhome infill at 1133-1169 Magnolia Avenue in Larkspur, Marin County. Magnolia Village will create twenty new homes, including some affordable housing, and a new home for Rustic Bakery. Edge Development Group is the project developer.
Construction is starting to go vertical for the five-story affordable housing project at 1666 7th Street in West Oakland, Alameda County. The development, dubbed 7th and Campbell, is now one level closer to having 79 apartments with community space above a new restaurant and grocery store. Oakland & the World Enterprises is the project sponsor, led by the former Black Panther Party chairwoman Elaine Brown.
A pre-application has been filed to replace a single-story auto body shop with eight stories of housing and retail at 2037 Durant Avenue, three blocks from the Downtown Berkeley BART Station, Alameda County. The filing would create 74 new apartments, including some affordable housing. Studio KDA is responsible for the application.
A new planning application has been filed for a seven-story apartment infill at 2300 Ellsworth Street in Southside, Berkeley. The updated proposal will preserve the historic facade along 2300 Ellsworth Street while increasing unit sizes above. The project, filed by Riaz Capital, is now expecting to create 69 apartments directly across from the UC Berkeley Campus.
A pre-application has been filed for an eight-story mixed-use infill at 8055 Collins Drive by the Coliseum in Oakland, Alameda County. The plans fit in the southern edge of the Coliseum Area Specific Plan, which would convert the sprawling area around the soon-to-close home to the Oakland Athletics into an urban district. Construction Resource Center led by Len Turner is listed as responsible for the application as the property owner.
