The project involves the demolition of two existing industrial buildings and the construction of for-purchase residential condominium units. The entire site contained a paint manufacturing plant and is located in both the City of Emeryville and the City of Oakland, with 44% of the total 39,000 square feet located in the City of Emeryville. The project includes 31 units in each city, for a total of 62 residential units and 84 off-street parking spaces provided in a partially submerged garage. The project is being built following “green building” principles using recycled building materials and local/regional materials. It also maximizes the use of energy/water efficient technologies, such as collecting water runoff for use in landscape irrigation and providing wiring in the parking garage to accommodate electric motor vehicles. The project will comply with Emeryville”s affordable housing goal by providing six affordable housing units, all located within Emeryville. The project will open in 2005. courtesy City of Emeryville
