Modified Plans Could Be Potential Tallest Tower in Berkeley

By: Andrew Nelson 5:30 am on November 18, 2025
Once again, modified plans have surfaced that could reshape Berkeley’s skyline. Preliminary permits have been filed to modify the previously approved entitlements for 2190 Shattuck Avenue in Downtown Berkeley, increasing the floor count from 25 floors to 34 floors. Landmark Properties is the property owner and applicant.
...
Little information was provided beyond the proposed floor count for 2190 Shattuck Avenue. The application states that an increase in the State Density Bonus law has facilitated the changes. Enacted in 2024, Assembly Bill 1287 allows developers in California to achieve a 100% density bonus above base zoning by stacking bonuses from on-site affordable housing.
SDT Architects is still involved with the project as design architect, working in collaboration with the architect of record, Myefski Architects. The previously-approved entitlements called for a 25-story tower with 326 apartments, ground-floor retail, and basement-level parking for 51 cars and 271 bicycles.
