Pre-Application Revealed for 20-Story Apartments in Southside, Berkeley



By: Andrew Nelson 5:00 am on August 13, 2024

Preliminary permits have been filed for a 20-story apartment complex at 2425 Durant Avenue in Southside, Berkeley. The potential 200-foot tower is entering a growing list of high-density projects that aims to reshape Berkeley’s skyline with more housing to satiate the city’s outsized demand for housing. The project is being led by local architect Yes Duffy at Yes Duffy Architects.

The pre-application uses Senate Bill 330 to streamline the approval process and increase residential capacity. The decision also comes eight months after the rezoning of the Southside Neighborhood by Berkeley City Council, which increased Telegraph Commercial-zoned lot from a 65 foot to 85 feet with base zoning. With more units allowed by the existing zoning map, and presumably with Assembly Bill 1287 to achieve a 100% density bonus, this latest proposal for 2425 Durant Avenue could become the tallest building in Southside.

...

Three existing residential buildings owned by 2425 Durant Ave., LLC, will need to be demolished. Rhoades Planning Group, a prominent Berkeley-based land use consultancy firm, is responsible for the application.
