Description:
Ashby Arts is a high density, mixed-use, infill development that breathes new life into an underutilized section of San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley providing  new homes, jobs, retail and restaurants along a popular transit corridor. This prominent southwest gateway site, formerly a gas station, is well-positioned along two state highways in a single-family neighborhood and fulfills the community goals of providing affordable housing within a compact footprint, utilizing strict green building practices and offering community-serving retail. The thoughtfully-designed 98 apartment homes are within walking distance to shopping, entertainment venues, medical services and transit. The 7,800 square feet of ground floor retail offers cafe seating flowing on to the sidewalk and to the vibrant, new pedestrian plaza located mid-block. The development team is committed to long-term sustainability of this affordable community and is targeting Gold LEED certification for this pedestrian-friendly, energy-efficient design.
