"The apartment complex, split between a 25-story and a 30-story building, would resemble other housing projects developed over the past decade in Oakland near transit hubs like the MacArthur Transit Village."
"The new apartments would not include any ground-floor retail, but the new homes would be within walking distance of a BART station and College Avenue's retail corridor."
"Align is pursuing similar projects in other cities where they want to turn old grocery stores into housing, including a proposal to transform the Marina District's 67-year-old Safeway into a 790-unit apartment complex."
"The Rockridge Community Planning Council, a nonprofit that advocates for the neighborhood's quality of life, said today that it doesn't like the idea."
The Trader Joe's grocery store in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood is proposed to be replaced by a 415-unit senior housing complex. The developer Align Real Estate submitted an application to construct two residential towers, a 25-story and a 30-story building. The complex would feature 371 independent living units, 18 assisted living units, and 26 memory care units, managed by a nonprofit. The project aligns with the 2019 Housing Accountability Act, aiming to streamline housing development in the area.
