en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Berkeley Design Review Committee will review plans tonight for a six-story apartment complex at 2800 Telegraph Avenue in South Berkeley, Alameda County. Designed by SDT Architects, the proposal would replace Karim Cycles. Avi Forman of Via Design Build filed the application on behalf of property owner Adlai Karim.

The roughly 70-foot-tall building is expected to provide approximately 19,600 square feet with 17 apartments, one of which will be designated as a deed-restricted affordable unit for very low-income households. The unit mix will include one studio, ten three-bedroom, and five four-bedroom apartments.

According to public records, SDT Architects is responsible for drafting the proposal, which city staff will review at tonight's meeting. The 0.1-acre site is currently occupied by Karim Cycles at the corner of Telegraph Avenue and Stuart Street, a block from Willard Park and a few blocks from Berkeley Bowl.

The construction period is estimated at approximately two years from groundbreaking to completion. The developer estimated in late December 2025 that construction could begin as early as this spring. The Berkeley Design Review Committee is scheduled to hold a hybrid-format meeting tonight, Thursday, May 28, at 6:30 p.m. at the North Berkeley Senior Center, located at 1901 Hearst Avenue, with a Zoom online participation option also available.
