Very cool proposal! The design is creative and looks good, although I'd expect some value engineering. I'm impressed with how many solid tower projects are continuing to move through the pipeline in Oakland, although I won't hold my breath too much on seeing any of them too soon. Agreed with the other posters that the parking is ridiculous on this one, but at least the podium isn't too offensive and is massed as a separate structure from the tower.

This is an excellent spot for some serious residential density: right next to the densest concentration of jobs in Oakland, a BART station, vibrant food and nightlife, and Lake Merritt. Hoping to see it built!
