Good thing it’s a block from BART (our train system) 
I think it’ll appeal to a lot of college students too. Being a block from UC Berkeley.

A block from the train station and a ton of bus stops.
Also a block from UC Berkeley so a lot of students without cars.
It’s clear people are choosing walkability and community over car dependence.
Wow! The Ark Roofing & Restoration team in The Woodlands, TX just took this roof to a whole new level with help from SRS Distribution in Cypress, TX. They're transforming #Texas homes & making strides toward a #cleaner & #greener future, one roof at a time!

Oxford and Center.
Not sure the exact address. Where the old Starbucks was.
We strive simply to make the best shingles in the most sustainable way.
At Malarkey, we invented the cleaner, longer-lasting shingle technology known as polymer modified (rubberized) asphalt. We pioneered the use of upcycled rubber in shingles. We pioneered the use of upcycled

While I’m completely ignorant to the impact this building will have on the local economy and community (positive or negative), I gotta say; that’s a DOPE looking building.
It's been incredible to watch Berkeley transition to one of the most NIMBY cities in the country to one of the most YIMBY/Progressive. I am absolutely here for it. Looking forward to seeing Berkeley develop 
berkeley needs to build like 3-4 of these per year until 2031 just to meet the cities 9000 unit housing goal lmao
Berkeley, should be the next new city with high raises in the Bay Area, bring back all the sports teams that Oakland lost.
May it be as successful as California's high speed rail project!
Nice renderings. Don't skimp on the floor structure in the podium levels. The mep guys like to use scissor lifts
Hey, if people want to live car-free, more power to them. This is a great looking building. The pushback here is due to the social engineering aspect that gives the rest of us a bad feeling. There's a movement to make all people conform to car-free activists' vision for the

Not a fan of the fact that this was actually approved on 9/12 but someone could have appealed it right up to yesterday.
Looks awesome! Hope the city fixes its design review process though so new buildings can have simple facades instead of a jumble of 3D shapes and different materials.
But Center Street is not a pedestrian plaza so these renderings are not showing what the street level will look like.
I thought a building was approved to be built right there 15+ years ago. It was mocked up and everything.
Aw hell yeah. Let's do this. I never thought I'd live to see the day when Berkeley had the most sensible government in the bay area.
Center & Oxford? Sometimes renderings can be a bit of an uncanny valley for me. If so that's a great spot for it.
And what will the air in the building be like?
I learned the hard way that most (maybe even all) of the new apartment buildings in the bay area, including in Berkeley, pump artificial fragrance into the air as an “amenity”
Better follow follow Japanese flexible structure design methods and use seismic isolation bearings, for a start.
It's about time. I don't want Berkeley to lose its charm and it's beautiful small buildings, but Lord knows housing is needed.
My only criticism would be that it should have at the bare minimum one bike parking spot per unit.
This is a fantastic next step in the much needed densification of Berkeley! Amazing news!
oh, that's actually going to block the view i like on my hikes near there - how can i provide public comment to prohibit? thanks
Retail is dead. 1 parking spot for every 13 units is going to put enormous parking pressure on the neighbors. Hope they build secure bicycle and mail rooms.
You're not wrong yet. Approved≠built. I REALLY hope this doesn't die in development though.
So many car brained responses here. People can’t even imagine that others might want to live car free.
When resumes construction of the Southern Border wall, he should take a sharp turn at Arizona/California border and build northward all the way to Canada. The nation will thank him! #MAGA #BUILDTHEWALL
