Meeting Tomorrow For 2128 Oxford Street, Downtown Berkeley
BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON JULY 17, 2024
The Berkeley Design Review Committee is scheduled to review plans for one of the tallest buildings in the city’s pipeline at 2128 Oxford Street, Downtown Berkeley. The 26-story structure, called the Hub, will bring well over a thousand bedrooms across 456 units overlooking the UC Berkeley campus. Chicago-based Core Spaces is the project developer.
...
DLR Group is the project architect, working with Chicago-based Site Design Group for landscape architecture. The slab tower will rise up with articulation to break down the overall scale of the structure, visually establishing a five-story podium and the upper floors separated by distinct material choices. The tower’s most prominent perspective will be from the UC Berkeley Campus across Center Street and Oxford Way. The project team writes that the “prominent corner tower element accentuates the verticality of the building while incorporating cementitious materials that reflect that of Spanish colonial tiles found throughout the campus and within the surrounding downtown context.”
The 0.82-acre parcel occupies a corner of Oxford and Center Street on a block bound by Shattuck Avenue and Allston Way. The site overlooks the crescent driveway that serves as the western entrance to the iconic UC Berkeley Campus. Future residents will be in the city’s heart, next to the Downtown Berkeley BART Station and just a few blocks from Southside’s student-packed Telegraph Avenue thoroughfare.
