Not sure! Berkeley has always had good bones and transit infrastructure. Now with sensible urban planning and emphasis on walkability, bikeability and transit first mentality, they are setting a great example for other medium density cities around the Bay Area.

BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:00 AM ON MAY 22, 2023

Modified plans have been filed for the eight-story mixed-use infill at 1598 University Avenue in Central Berkeley, Alameda County. The application will now create 207 units, down three from the initial plan, with 21 affordable apartments. NX Ventures is the project applicant.

...

The 0.66-acre property is located on the corner of University Avenue and California Street, just ten minutes from the North Berkeley BART Station by foot. The Downtown Berkeley BART Station is 15 minutes away for pedestrians. AC Transit bus lines along University Avenue and Sacramento Street can bring residents to downtown Oakland accessible in less than 30 minutes.

Permits Approved For 2538 Durant Avenue In Southside, Berkeley

BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON JUNE 3, 2023

Permits have been approved for the eight-story residential infill at 2538 Durant Avenue in Southside, Berkeley. The filing comes as the developer shares with YIMBY that construction could start as early as November this year. The Studio KDA-designed infill will create around 83 homes above commercial retail.

Last year, project developer Valiance Capital secured a $10.5 million loan from ACRES Capital, a national real estate lender. Highland Realty Capital and ACRES arranged the funding to facilitate the property acquisition and pre-development costs.

Updated project details show that the 88-foot tall structure will yield around 80,520 square feet, with 79,050 square feet for housing and 1,460 square feet for retail. Residents will get 2,280 square feet of usable open space. Of the 83 units, five will be designated as Very Low-Income units earning less than half of the Area Median Income. Parking will be included for 56 bicycles.

The dorm-style property will include 270 beds across 83 units. Unit sizes will vary with 26 studios, eight one-bedrooms, 15 two-bedrooms, 14 three-bedrooms, six four-bedrooms, and 14 five-bedrooms. The first floor includes retail, a lobby and work lounge, bicycle parking, and several homes. The second floor includes more housing by the courtyard deck and a fitness center. The top floor opens up to an expansive landscaped rooftop deck with views toward the UC Berkeley Campus.

Studio KDA is the project architect. Facade materials include concrete, board-formed exteriors, cement panels, and painted stucco. The exterior will be articulated with vertical banding and projecting balconies facing Durant Avenue. Miller Company is responsible for landscape architecture, with Greenwood & Moore consulting for civil engineering. Landscaping will be included at street level, a second-level courtyard, and the rooftop deck.

The property is in the city’s vibrant, walkable mixed-use neighborhood, one block from the UC Berkeley Campus and two blocks from the People’s Park. Residents looking north will see The Standard, another eight-story infill opened last year at 2580 Bancroft Way by Landmark Properties and Johnson Lyman Architects.

New Renderings For 2274 Shattuck Avenue In Downtown Berkeley



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON JUNE 6, 2023

Panoramic Interests has shared new renderings with YIMBY for the 17-story residential tower expected to rise at 2274 Shattuck Avenue in Downtown Berkeley, Alameda County. The infill will replace the shuttered 91-year-old theater while retaining the historical facade for the lobby entrance and cafe. Trachtenberg Architects is responsible for the design.

Along with the renderings, Panoramic Interests shared that the new infill will create 227 apartments, of which 23 will be designated as affordable for very low-income households. A representative for the company said the firm is “committed to restoring the façade and entryway along Shattuck Avenue.” The tower will rise away from Shattuck Avenue, with a staggered massing that elevates the theater facades’ prominence along the thoroughfare.

New planning documents have not yet been released. However, previous plans from August last year state the 182-foot tall structure would yield around 209,900 square feet, with 204,270 square feet for housing and 1,500 square feet for ground-level retail. Parking was included for four cars and 82 bicycles. Unit sizes will include a mix of studios, two-bedrooms, four-bedrooms, and five-bedrooms.

Trachtenberg Architects is the project architect. The new design shows a unified tower facade reminiscent of the Empire State Building’s blonde limestone panels and vertical bands alternating with steel-framed windows.

The L-shaped half-acre property is connected to Shattuck Avenue and Bancroft Way. The building is just one of several in the city’s development pipeline or already under construction, including 2065 Kittredge Street, one of the city’s tallest proposals at 2190 Shattuck Avenue, and the active 2352 Shattuck Avenue site.

New Renderings For 2480 Bancroft Way In Southside, Berkeley



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:00 AM ON JUNE 13, 2023

New renderings have been shared ahead of a public project review this Thursday for an eight-story residential infill at 2480 Bancroft Way in Southside, Berkeley. The project will build up the low-slung parcel with 125 bedrooms and retail in the busy neighborhood next to the UC Berkeley Campus. Ruegg & Ellsworth is the project developer.

The project composition shows the building will be marketed for college students and young professionals. The dorm-style apartments will have small bedrooms wrapped around a large social room, kitchen, and two bathrooms. Of the 28 units, two four-bedrooms will be designated as affordable to very low-income households. The inclusion allows Ruegg & Ellsworth to use the State Density Bonus program.

The 95-foot tall structure will yield around 38,200 square feet, with 35,430 square feet for 28 apartments and 2,070 square feet for commercial space. The retail spot is expected to become a restaurant. Parking will be included for 56 bicycles and no cars. Unit sizes will include two three-bedrooms, 12 four-bedrooms, 13 five-bedrooms, and one six-bedroom apartment. BKF is consulting on civil engineering.

Studio KDA is the project architect. The new renderings show a shift from darker greys to a white and light grey palette, complemented by pale blue accents within window portals. The ground-level restaurant will benefit from transparent curtain-wall glass, flooding the space with natural light. Facade materials will include stucco, composite panels, exterior cementitious rainscreens, and glass railing for the private balconies.

Nice! In the past, I never would've guessed that Berkeley would see a building boom like this, as it always seemed to be a city where NIMBYs had a stranglehold on things. Now if all the other Bay Area suburbs (and the less dense outer neighborhoods of SF, Oakland, and SJ) could match that pace, it would be great.

The problem with Fremont is it doesn’t really have good bones to urbanize properly. It doesn’t have much as far as walkable commercial corridors except for Niles which is pretty small and isolated. The Bart stations are surrounded by strip malls and industrial parks and function more as park and rides. They can always build more residential density around the stations like they are in Warm Springs but it’ll never become a mini Berkeley or anything close.

True. Fremont was cobbled together from four other cities in the 50's and never really formed a coherent city center since then. Irvington has some potential but far from BART and ACE stations.

Irvington might have some potential especially if they proceed with plans to build the infill Irvington BART station and then upzone the blocks around the Fremont/Washington intersection.

That would be huge if it gets built. Closer to my neck of the woods.

New Details For 2201 San Pablo Avenue, Southwest Berkeley



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:00 AM ON JUNE 18, 2023

New details have been published for the six-story mixed-use infill at 2201 San Pablo Avenue in Southwest Berkeley, Alameda County. The project will create 65 apartments, using the state density bonus program to increase residential capacity and designate six as affordable housing units. Principal architect of IFR, Ian F. Ream, is listed as the project applicant.

The 71-foot tall structure will yield around 48,300 square feet, with 45,990 square feet for housing and 2,300 square feet for a childcare facility. The floor area is not specified for the 35-car garage. Additional space will be included for 60 bicycles. Six of the 65 apartments will be designated as affordable to very low-income households.

IFR Architecture is responsible for the design. Facade materials will include corrugated metal siding, panels, a public art mural, and curtain-wall glass walls along ground level. The facade will feature a sawtooth bay window form facing Allston Way. Crowning the apartment complex will be a setback rooftop deck lined with planters and furnished with outdoor seating.

The property is near San Pablo Avenue and Allston Way, nearby AC Transit bus stops. Residents will be 15 minutes from Berkeley’s Amtrak Station, where the Capitol Corridor trains to move between the Bay Area and Sacramento. Downtown Berkeley is less than ten minutes away by bicycle. The North Berkeley BART Station is less than 20 minutes away on foot or six minutes by bike.
