Construction Starting This Summer For Lake Merritt BART Development, Oakland
BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON APRIL 2, 2024
Bay Area Rapid Transit has announced that construction is scheduled to start this summer on the Lake Merritt BART Station redevelopment in Downtown Oakland. Crews will start by replacing a surface parking lot with a seven-story affordable housing project and a landscaped paseo. Oakland Planning Commission is scheduled to review the updated phasing for the project tomorrow afternoon.
...
The first building to rise will be affordable senior housing, labeled Building B. The 85-foot tall structure will yield 82,360 square feet. Unit types include 22 studios, 70 one-bedrooms, and five two-bedrooms. Residents will have long-term parking for 49 bicycles, with commercial space for six bicycles. That commercial space includes a 3,240-square-foot ground-floor food services and commercial kitchen.
The overall design for Building B is light, balancing white plaster exteriors with a wood-panel corner pinch over a two-story overhang, creating a dramatic view at the corner of 8th and Fallon Street. Facade materials include bricks, fiber cement panels, composite wood panels, and plaster.
