The race for the tallest building in Berkeley continues, and it is a contest of single-digit differences. Updated plans have been filed with the Berkeley Planning Department for 2128 Oxford Street, which raises the project to 26 floors and 284 feet tall. The plans are now the tallest proposed building for Downtown Berkeley, extending just seven feet over 1974 Shattuck Avenue.

Core Spaces has filed the application, among the tallest projects in Alameda County pipeline. Initial plans for 2128 Oxford Street, also addressed as 2132-2154 Center Street, were covered in mid-September of 2021. Core Spaces had proposed a 17-story residential complex with 285 residential units, over 10,000 square feet of ground-level retail, and parking for 316 bicycles and 63 cars. Representatives for the project team have confirmed the rooftop height and amenity plans with YIMBY.

The project will rise 284 feet tall to create 485 apartments, including five extremely low-income units and 42 very low-income units. There will be 13,500 square feet of commercial space, which includes a rooftop restaurant 268 feet above the street with panoramic views across the Bay Area. Residents will have access to an amenity deck on the 25th floor. DLR Group is the project architect.
