This transit-oriented, two-phase green housing development brings
active retail, market-rate homes, and affordable accessible dwellings
to a less-than-lively central Berkeley block. Slated for LEED Silver
certification, Parker Place will create a sustainable new
pedestrian-oriented plaza between the core of downtown and the Ashby
BART station and feature neighborhood-friendly upgrades such as
traffic-calming landscaping, a revamped bus stop, bicycle parking, and
café-ready retail spaces. It includes the adaptive reuse of an existing
1923 structure presently functioning as a car dealership.
