en.Wedoany.com Reported - A new building permit has been submitted for the residential project at 1899 Oxford Street in Berkeley, California, reducing the total proposed units from the previous 222 to 216. The project will use modular units for the residential portion, developed by the Berkland Foundation.

Details of the new permit indicate that the project's building scale and exterior remain consistent with earlier plans. The building stands 78 feet tall and is expected to provide approximately 90,000 square feet of space, including 65,000 square feet of residential area and about 4,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The 216 apartments are designed using modular units for rapid assembly. According to past application documents, up to 33 of these units are deed-restricted affordable housing, potentially including 17 units for very low-income households and 16 units for moderate-income households.

The original project architect was SDG Architects. The new permit does not specify the impact of the plan changes on the building's exterior. The previous design featured a clear facade with visual zoning using white and black insulated metal panels, complemented by floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the ground-floor lobby and retail spaces.

The project site covers half an acre, located at the intersection of Oxford Street and Hearst Avenue, adjacent to the northwest corner of the University of California, Berkeley. Future residents will be just a few blocks from Shattuck Avenue and near the Downtown Berkeley BART station. The parking plan includes 14 car parking spaces and 74 bicycle parking spaces.
