The proposed housing development at the North Berkeley BART station, consisting of 735 homes, has faced significant delays, with construction now pushed to potentially early 2026. The project, envisioned as a transit village with affordable and market-rate apartments, is stalled due to funding challenges and unfavorable market conditions. BART and the development team, North Berkeley Housing Partners, had originally anticipated starting in 2025, but factors such as rising interest rates have complicated the timeline. This development has become a contentious issue in local political race discussions while the planning process spanned over six years.
The North Berkeley BART station housing development faces delays, pushing potential construction start from 2025 to possibly early 2026, due to funding and market conditions.
BART officials acknowledge that while hopes were high for a 2025 ground-breaking, 2026 appears more likely for the first affordable housing building.
