Redesigned for Luxury and Put Back in Play
June 27, 2019
The underdeveloped lot at the corner of Cleveland Street and Park Boulevard in Oakland’s Cleveland Heights neighborhood hit the market in 2004 with permitted plans for a 25-unit building – including 24 residential units, one commercial space and a 25-car garage – to rise on the 2805 Park Boulevard parcel and sold for $1.25 million in January of 2005.
Having never broken ground, the Cleveland Heights parcel returned to the market in 2017 with new plans for a fully-entitled 20-unit building to rise on the site, with 16 three-bedrooms and 4 fours, and sold for $1.45 million in December of 2017 with the rendering below:
And with Winder Gibson Architects having been engaged to redesign the redesigned plans for the fully-entitled 20-unit project, which is “now being planned as a Luxury Condominium” development, but with 4 below market rate units (BMR) as entitled, the vacant lot is now back on the market with a $2.1 million price tag as newly rendered below:

Phew, the previous design was beyond embarrassing.
No kidding! It shows a bus trimmed in blue…EVERYone knows AC buses are trimmed in green: how can we take something seriously when it makes that kind of egregious error? As for that object behind the bus: went from Santa Monica North to Montreal Sud-ouest.
I actually liked the first one better than the 2nd….kinda gave me a so cal / Florida tropical feel, a bit refreshing & colorful. But overall, I think they both are pretty much garbage.
“luxury”…LMAO.
This is a good block though. When I used to live near there I dreamed about buying that lot…..to make into an urban farm!!!
More JENGA-tecture for the rich. Great job WGA…. you should be embarrassed.
*Looks at first one* “God, what an awful design.”
*Looks at second one* “Well, let’s go with the first one.”
The second one has a sort of “Outer Suburbs of Sofia, Bulgaria in 1963” vibe to it, I must admit.
Did I miss it? Who is the developer?
