Location:
Oakland, California The Uptown District Concept Plan uses mixed-use development as a catalyst to bring back vitality to one of Oakland’s retail and entertainment districts. Though well-served by transit and located adjacent to the newly-renovated Civic Center and downtown, Uptown had until recently been a rundown area of Oakland characterized by surface parking lots and vacant buildings. The Concept Plan introduced a much-needed residential component consisting of condominiums, apartments and off-campus dorms for UC Berkeley students. This resulted in a 24-hour-community that improved neighborhood safety and spurred retail and entertainment activity on Telegraph Avenue and Broadway.
