Maudelle Miller Shirek is named after the eight-term City Council Member and activist in Berkeley, CA, who fought for civil rights for older adults and low-income individuals. This vibrant new community honors Shirek’s legacy by providing beautiful, sustainable, and affordable housing to support the Berkeley Community.
Located across from Ashby BART, this transit-oriented development brings 87 new homes with a full range of unit sizes, with roughly equal numbers of studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units. Fifteen percent of the apartments are fully accessible, and the remaining are designed to be adaptable. An additional 10% of the units have features for people with hearing or visual impairment.
The property features a community room with a full kitchen for residents to host events, a landscaped courtyard with a playground and outdoor seating, auto-stacked parking with mechanical lifts to minimize parking footprint, bike parking, on-site property management, and supportive services for residents.
Anchoring the major intersection of Adeline and Ashby, the corner activates the street front with a five-story curved façade featuring iridescent metal wall tiles. This architectural element creates color and pattern that varies depending on the sun’s location and the viewer’s point of view. The bold corner provides a focal point for the community and a landmark for people coming out of the underground BART station across the street.
