Specs:

- 222 units (53 1BR, 169 2BR)
- 35 of the units will be affordable for households earning 80% of AMI
- 2,930 sq ft of retail
- Parking will be included for 0 cars and 76 bicycles

Quote:
Construction will start from a single-story concrete podium, with 18 floors of mass ply panels, a material different from cross-laminated timber. Each panel will be five inches thick made of 45 layers of stripped wood, allowing the team to use younger trees and without destroying matured groves.

...

1510 Webster will become the second tallest mass timber building in the country. The tallest mass timber building in the country, and the world, is the recently-completed Ascent Building in Milwaukee. With a rooftop height of 284 feet, it narrowly beats a 278-foot apartment tower in Norway.

...

Andrew Ball asserted that the use of mass ply panels instead or concrete and steel was saved oWow 15% in overall cost and a 25% reduction in construction time. Because of the unique needs of the material, construction will also look different. There will not be scaffolding, and facade installation will happen quickly to protect the ply panels, at most five floors below the top levels.

The architectural style for 1510 Webster was made to respect the adjacent YWCA Building designed by the famous early 20th-Century architect Julia Morgan. Earth-tone terracotta or precast material will complement the historic structure, with the six-story podium datum responding to the neighbor’s height. A public passage will cut through the ground level, bringing pedestrians to a cloistered plaza by retail.

Very nice shots, and thank you for making this thread. A thread beginning with a foundation pour is very nice to see.

Am I remembering correctly that the tallest mass timber building is in Milwaukee?

That's correct, although there are several taller proposals that I know of in Vancouver, and probably more elsewhere.


Crane is up for this project, visible form the north end of the lake by the cathedral: (sorry for crappy pics)

Mass-Timber Construction At 1510 Webster Street In Downtown Oakland



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON JUNE 5, 2023

Construction has reached the six-story mid-building podium block for 1510 Webster Street in Downtown Oakland, Alameda County. The exposed structure shows off the mass timber framework around the concrete superstructure that makes the 19-story plan unique. Oakland-based oWOW is the project developer and architect.

While the cross-laminated timber is six floors high, two floors of facade panels have already been installed. oWow President Andrew Ball shared with YIMBY at the groundbreaking in October last year about what makes this construction site look unit. He described that there would not be scaffolding, and facade installation would happen quickly to protect the ply panels, at most five floors below the top levels.

...

oWow is a vertically integrated firm, including management and architecture. The firm is responsible for the design, with setbacks, facade materials, and a mid-height datum to complement the typology of Julia Morgan’s 1915-built YWCA building across Webster. The podium for 1510 Webster Street is clad with earth-tone terracotta or precast material and rises to a 65-foot datum to mirror the height of the YWCA. The tower levels will be covered with cream flush and white aluminum panels.

...

oWow has stated that completion for 1510 Webster is expected by early 2024, with temporary occupancy allowing early move-ins as early as October this year.

YIMBY Tours 1510 Webster Street In Downtown Oakland



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON AUGUST 29, 2023

Construction has topped out for the 19-story mass timber apartment structure at 1510 Webster Street in Downtown Oakland, Alameda County. The project, the tallest mass timber tower on the West Coast, will bring 222 new residences capped by a public rooftop deck. oWow, the project developer, hopes to welcome their first residents before the year’s end.

The mass-timber and concrete structure topped out earlier this month, with facade installation nearly topped out. The modular panels, built in Canada, are just part of several efficient construction methods that allowed oWow to reach this milestone less than a year after the groundbreaking last October.

Speaking with YIMBY, oWow Co-Founder and CEO Danny Haber shared that plans for 1510 Webster Street have been adjusted significantly after the firm conducted an in-person survey of over 500 people at Lake Merritt, the Emeryville IKEA, and Dolores Park in San Francisco to learn more about what people want from their apartment. Haber explained that during the course of the survey, “Each week, we would get people’s feedback and change the plan. We did weekly iterations for months.”

By far, the biggest change for 1510 Webster and their adjacent proposal at 1523 Harrison will be bigger apartments. “One thing we learned was that our square footage was too small… We increased our sizes between 30-50% on our apartments for overall square footage.” Another significant alteration was for the two-bedroom apartments. As Haber put it, he “didn’t understsand the level of hate that people have for two-bedrooms with shared walls.”

“We were surprised by how much time people still spend in their bedrooms… There are a ton of people who work all day in their bedrooms.” Talking with people and visiting other apartments, Haber noted few residents “actually use those co-working places because people really focus on setting up good working spaces in their apartment.” In response, the firm made “a good place for people to set up a desk for workspace with natural light.”

The project will create 222 rental units, of which 42 are designated as affordable for 13 very low-income and 29 moderate-income households. Unit sizes will vary, with 53 one-bedrooms and 169 two-bedrooms. Parking will be included for 76 bicycles and no cars. Regarding that last point, Haber said “we were incorrect that, at this point, you don’t really need parking. So one thing we’re going to do with Harrison is we’re going to add a lot more parking because we feel that, based upon data and what we’re seeing, it’s an important demand.”


The 187-foot tall structure will yield around 193,000 square feet with 150,200 square feet for housing, 2,930 square feet for retail, and 2,590 square feet for residential amenities split between the ground level and the rooftop. Shared open spaces will be created on levels 7 and 17.

The rooftop deck is expected to become a public amenity occupied by a future commercial tenant. Haber said of the retail space, “We’re talking to different groups… Our goal would be to have one operator take the vast majority of the space to successfully integrate it together.” The rooftop will be accessible from the ground floor public courtyard. Residents will also be able to enter their apartments from the plaza or through the interior lobby.

oWow is the architect. The design for 1510 Webster was made to complement the scale of the adjacent YWCA Building designed by the famous early 20th-century architect Julia Morgan. Earth-tone terracotta and precast material will mirror the historic structure.

Immediately next to 1510 Webster, oWow has proposed another mass timber project. The 25-story tower at 1523 Harrison Street would create 361 apartments and parking. Construction is expected to start next year after 1510 Webster has completed.
