OAKLAND — A highrise with hundreds of homes and some office space is being proposed for a downtown Oakland site, a project that would become one of the East Bay city’s tallest towers if it’s built.
The mixed-use development would feature 425 rental units and a few floors of office space on the lower floors of the project, proposed for 2044 Franklin Street, which is a short distance from the 19th Street BART station in Oakland.
Preliminary plans for the tower, along with some images for the proposed project, were filed by the project’s developer with the Oakland city planning department, which posted the proposal on a municipal public website.
