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.
