Supportive Housing Opens at 1367 University Avenue, Berkeley
Less than two years after the official groundbreaking, a new supportive housing complex has opened at 1367 University Avenue in Berkeley, Alameda County. The project is located along University Avenue, just two blocks from the North Berkeley BART Station. Panoramic Interests and Lindgren are responsible for the project as co-developers.
The four-story structure is expected to accept its first residents soon, occupying the 39 private studios, with access to a community kitchen. Berkeley-based non-profit Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency will operate the building. The team has promised to provide staff on-site at all times who can help with case management, job navigation, mental health and addiction recovery, and applying for medical care benefits.
The engineering team included Rockridge Geotechnical, Dolmen Consulting Engineers, Steenhof Building, IMEG, and Kister Savio & Rei. Hawk Development was the project’s general contractor, and Lindgren, a subsidiary of Swinerton, is a co-developer with Panoramic.
