Renderings Revealed For 23-Story Tower at 2029 University Avenue, Berkeley
By: Andrew Nelson 5:30 am on January 1, 2025
New renderings have been published alongside zoning permits for a 23-story tower at 2029 University Avenue in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. Project developer Laconia Development has submitted two concurrent plans for residential or student housing within the identically-sized high rise. Either way, the team is pursuing one of the tallest projects in the city’s pipeline.
...
The recently-renamed Berkeley firm Stackhouse De La Pena Trachtenberg Architects, or SDT Architects, is responsible for the design. Both tower plans show a slight variety from the architecture studio’s wheelhouse, clad with metal panels and thin brick. In fact, you’d be excused for not immediately noticing the difference between either project, and neither appears to be particularly attractive.
...
Demolition will be required for the existing two-story commercial structure. The 0.28-acre property is located along University Avenue between Shattuck Avenue and Milvia Street. The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be shared.
