I took my car in for service today, so had another chance to walk around town and take some pictures of what's under construction.
Here is new construction along Valdez, north of Grand. The building on the right was burned down several years ago when it was almost completely framed, presumably by anti-gentrification activists:

Several views of 2016 Telegraph Avenue, which is across the street from Oakland's first Shake Shack. (Shake Shack opened during the pandemic in the old Capwell's Department Store building.)

Several views of the Atlas Apartments at 1314 Franklin, which is now complete and open. This building replaced a decrepit parking garage that the city of Oakland built for downtown merchants during the rise of suburban shopping malls in the 50s and 60s:

Next up, the Key Route Building, which is now going to be headquarters for Credit Karma. First, the back of the new building as seen from the side of the Tribune Tower:

I saw this crane in the distance when walking past City Hall. I couldn't place what building it was:

It's the Marriott Hotels going up at 1431 Jefferson (the renderings show quite an ugly building):

My car was done early, so that's the end of the tour:
