Permits Filed for 18-Unit Apartment Building at 425 W Macarthur Boulevard in Oakland

New permits have been filed for a multifamily project at 425 W Macarthur Boulevard in Oakland. The plan calls for demolishing the existing two-story duplex on the site and building a three-story apartment structure with 18 units.

The property is listed under 425 W MacArthur LLC, and public records reviewed for the report did not identify an individual or developer behind the effort. The proposed building would include a common lobby, a shared laundry room and a shared roof deck. Unit layouts and sizes have not yet been disclosed.

The site sits in the Mosswood area of North Oakland, a block from the recently redeveloped Mosswood Community Center and Park. Residents would have access to transit along Telegraph Avenue and Broadway, including the nearby Macarthur BART station.

For developers and lenders, the filing signals a density increase on a small infill parcel, with the modest height intended to fit the surrounding fabric. Feasibility work should confirm the current zoning entitlements for an 18-unit replacement of the duplex.
