2900-2920 Shattuck Avenue Mixed-Use Project

The project at 2900-2920 Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley, California, entails the demolition of three existing one-story commercial buildings totaling 8,289 square feet and a surface parking lot to make way for an 11-story mixed-use structure comprising 131,583 square feet. The new building will include 242 residential units and 3,720 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, with 30 below-market-rate units allocated as part of the development—22 designated for very-low income households and eight for moderate-income households—eligible through density bonus provisions. The project is positioned to benefit from streamlining provisions under California’s “Near-Miss” rule per Public Resources Code Section 21080.1, expediting environmental review procedures. The site, previously associated with a remediated leaking underground storage tank case closed in 1995, remains listed under Government Code Section 65962.5 as a former hazardous material site, though no active contamination is present. The City of Berkeley is the lead agency, with project management handled by Nichole Yee of Rincon Consultants and senior planning oversight provided by Singeh Saliki, while Nathan George of NDGRE serves as the project’s president. The project was posted as a forecast on June 8, 2026, and is located in Berkeley’s 94703 ZIP code.
