Solomon Cordwell Buenz (SCB) has completed 17th & Broadway, the firmās first residential tower in Oakland, Calif.
Ā
17th & BroadwayĀ is a 34-story tower composed of 254 apartments and 5,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. The design for the tower borrows cues from Oaklandās predominantly ceramic-clad historic urban core and architectural landscape. Patterned and warm limestone-hued concrete panels complement the terracotta tiles and dense detailing of the surrounding context and the neighboring Cathedral Building.
Ā
Residential amenities include a skydeck with panoramic views of the city and the Bay, an outdoor pool terrace, and a co-working lounge with conference and meeting rooms.
Ā
The cityās creative and tech-fueled economic growth has spurred a fast emerging, high-rise residential market. Currently, SCB has four projects under construction in the city: Atlas, the tallest residential tower in the city at 40 stories; 1717 Webster, a 247-unit apartment tower in the heart of downtown Oakland; 40 Harrison Street, a 333-unit apartment development at Jack London Square; and Skylyne, part of the transit-oriented development MacArthur Transit Village.
