New Renderings For 2900 Shattuck Avenue In South Berkeley



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON FEBRUARY 20, 2023

New renderings have been revealed for a ten-story residential infill at 2900 Shattuck Avenue in South Berkeley, Alameda County. The project will have 221 apartments with some affordable housing across from the famous Berkeley Bowl grocery store. NX Ventures, an ambitious firm with nearly two thousand units and the tallest plans in the city pipeline, is the project developer.

The 110-foot tall structure will yield around 115,200 square feet with 109,860 square feet for housing, 4,090 square feet for retail, and additional space for mechanical functions. Unit sizes will vary marginally, with 203 studios, nine one-bedrooms, and nine two-bedrooms. Parking will be included for nine cars accessible from Russell Street, while the 64-bicycle storage room will be in the lobby.

Of the 221 apartments, 22 will be designated as affordable housing for very low-income households, earning between 30-50% of the Area Median Income. The affordable inclusion allowed NX Venture to employ the State Density Bonus, increasing residential capacity above the 151-unit base zoning.

...

The 0.45-acre property is located between Shattuck Avenue and Adeline Street, less than ten minutes from BART’s Ashby Station. Downtown Berkeley and Southside are around twenty minutes away on foot or five minutes on a bike, and the UC Berkeley Campus is about seven to ten minutes away by bicycle. On a clear day, residents on the rooftop deck could see the Oakland and San Francisco skyline and the Golden Gate Bridge.
