Eastline Project, 2100 Telegraph St, Oakland CA
"Zoned for the potential development of up to 1,556 residential units, 2.8 million square feet of office space or a combination of the two, the preliminary plans for the proposed “Eastline” project to rise across the entire 3-acre Uptown Oakland block bounded by Telegraph, Broadway, 21st and 22nd Streets had envisioned a mixed-use development with 880,000 square feet of large-floor-plate office space which could accommodate around 4,500 tech workers; a 397-foot tower with 395 residential units inside; 85,000 square feet of street-level retail; and six levels of parking for 1,750 cars, the overall design for which has since been refined by Gensler as newly rendered below.
At the same time, plans for a potential “all office” scenario rising up to 420 feet in height have been drafted and newly rendered as well, an approach which would yield 1.45 million square feet of office space; 80,000 square feet of ground floor retail; and six levels of parking with 2,050 spaces for both public and private use. Which of the draft plans for the 2100 Telegraph site will be pursued has yet to be determined." http://www.socketsite.com/archives/2...own-block.html http://www.socketsite.com/wp-content...graph-Site.jpg Credit via Socketsite http://www.socketsite.com/wp-content...rings-2017.jpg According the the EIR report, the Eastline Project could break ground as early as this year. Though, i find that doubtful at this stage. I have mixed feelings aesthetically about both designs, but fundamentally feel that adding only office space is not very responsible by the developer. Considering the project's location, it should absolutely be a mixed development. While I am also not a fan of a parking block at the bottom of towers, i feel that replacing some of the parking that would be taken away is vital. Particularly considering it proximity to both the Fox and Paramount theaters. Hopefully that will be tucked away somewhere inside of the block. Also, did i mention i miss Giant Burger? |
I'd prefer the Mixed-Use space over the all office development. It'll help bring a more foot traffic in the area and, in my opinion, would be good since it's near Paramount and Fox Theater.

digging all the Oakland development.
the Genesis building on San Bruno Mtn doesn't look too different than the last time we checked in https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4662/...13e586a6_b.jpg |

^ Agreed. Feel free to start one up!

I was looking for the place to post that, too, as I logged onto the Bizjournals today and saw it. I'm surprised there isn't an Oakland thread already.
|
Glad to finally see posts of Oakland!
And I'm not sure. The Bay Area is actually going to have 4 threads on this forum with San Francisco, San Jose, this thread and a potential Oakland thread. |

I see it more as a question of whether there is enough development to warrant it and my original point was that Oakland now seems to--it has nearly as many arger scale projects as SF assuming those that are approved will actually get going and it seems like they will. The other matter is what I alluded to--the majority of us San Franciscans really don't know (or honestly care about) Oakland enough to keep up with what'sgoing on in BOTH cities. Oakland needs somebody to give it its share of love from up close and personal. |

Credit via The Registry SF "Major new ground-up mixed-use development in Oakland OAKLAND, Calif. (January 9, 2018) – TMG Partners (TMG), one of the Bay Area’s largest mixed-use property developers, announced today the submission of a pre-application to develop a full city block between Telegraph Avenue, Valley Street, West Grand Avenue, and 22nd Street in Oakland. The proposed development, at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Telegraph Avenue, calls for a 760,000-square-foot office building with approximately 10,000 square feet of ground floor retail and arts spaces. The development’s approval process is expected to run through 2018." http://news.theregistrysf.com/tmg-pa...ptown-oakland/ |
Having Oakland and SJ threads is a bad idea. They will get no traction. Better to have one thread for SF and one for the rest of the bay.

If they do create one, I will contribute to it and try to support it. There is already an SJ thread. |
in the meantime, more Oakland stuff
|
fwiw, I agree that good criteria for deciding whether a new thread is warranted for an area are
1) is the area clearly defined 2) is there enough going on there to be interesting in and of itself, and to mean that keeping activity info grouped in one place would help keep things clearer 3) is/are there someone/some people willing and able to keep the thread up-to-date to me, Oakland meets the first two, so if people can also help with 3), I'm in favor |
