Appeal Withdrawn For 40-Story Tower In Downtown Oakland



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON JANUARY 29, 2024

Plans for a 40-story residential tower in Downtown Oakland are moving forward now that a neighboring business owner has dropped an appeal following an agreement with the city. The proposal would bring 381 units to what is currently a surface parking lot at 1431 Franklin Street in the heart of the urban core. Tidewater Capital is the project developer.

...

If built, the residential tower would stand 413 feet tall, with 381 apartments, 8,100 square feet of public open space, and on-site residential parking. Large Architecture is responsible for the design. The plans have gone through several design revisions. The latest renderings show a stepped tripartite tower with a uniform gridded facade. The firm shared that their inspiration came from the spired towers across Downtown Oakland and the bold verticality of the Cathedral Building.

If the rendering comes to life with those exact proportions this will be the most beautiful building in Oakland. It is a slice of Gotham in East Bay.

City Approves Residential Tower At 1431 Franklin Street, Downtown Oakland



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:00 AM ON FEBRUARY 7, 2024

The City of Oakland has officially approved plans for the 40-story residential tower at 1431 Franklin Street in Downtown Oakland. The proposal is poised to become the tallest skyscraper in Oakland, rising just nine feet taller than the Ordway Building. Tidewater Capital is the developer.

The approval comes just days after Geoffrey Pete, the owner of an eponymous event space, dropped an appeal against the tower. Documents filed with the city declared that the project “will not have a significant effect on the environment,” as ensured by a mitigation reporting or monitoring plan.

...

Los Angeles-based LARGE Architecture is responsible for the design. The tower is separated​​ into three masses above the podium. The firm describes that the tower will have “a panelized punched window exterior composed of light-colored brick façade and vertical bronze fins to contextualize the exterior with the surrounding Historic District.”
