The same month that demolition work started for the state’s tallest mass timber tower, oWow revealed renderings for the second phase of construction on the same block. 1523 Harrison Street is set to be developed with an identically-tall timber tower. The proposal would replace a nearly half-acre surface parking lot with 269 homes in Downtown Oakland.






oWow, the developer and architect, purchased the 0.48-acre surface parking lot in March of this year for $9.3 million. An application has not yet been filed to the city, though the developer expects the first plans may be filed by next month. The building is set to rise next to 1510 Webster Street.

Unremarkable project overall but some nice infill in a corner of downtown that needs it.
