So happy to see Oakland finally having its own thread. I work Downtown in an Urban Architecture and Planning firm and am SO excited about all of the development that's happening in the city. Growing up just south of Oakland, it's been great seeing it change throughout the years.
I took some progress photos of some projects that are under construction during my lunch today:
1314 Franklin:
601 12th St.
1640 Broadway
1721 Webster:
2630 Broadway:
2400 Valdez:
2315 Valdez:
Here is a key for the "Uptown" Broadway-Valdez Specific Plan from the Oakland Gov. Website:
There are a few more that started Construction up street on Broadway that I couldn't make it to. Will try to get some pics of it next week.
