Building Permits Filed for 66-Unit Affordable Housing Project at 430 Broadway in Oakland

Oakland's 430 Broadway development has advanced with the submission of a building worksheet, signaling progress for the 66-unit affordable housing project. Located at the former Alameda County Probation offices site, the proposal includes a five-story podium-style building featuring studio and one-bedroom layouts, alongside a dedicated manager's unit. This development is designed by David Baker Architects.

The structural plans detail a four-story wood-frame construction over a reinforced concrete base, with the upper floors designed to cantilever, maximizing residential square footage. Exterior materials will combine white cement panels, brown masonry or ceramic siding, and dark metal elements.

This initiative represents the initial phase of a larger combined affordable and mixed-income development on two Alameda County-owned properties. Related California and the East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation are spearheading the project, which aims to revitalize the area between Jack London Square and Downtown Oakland. Future residents will benefit from proximity to local amenities and convenient access to BART stations. The filing of these permits marks a crucial step toward addressing the city's need for accessible housing.
