By: Andrew Nelson<\/a> 5:30 am on June 26, 2026<\/p>\n Permits have been filed for interim use of 500 Kirkham Street<\/a> as a parking lot in West Oakland<\/a>. Previously, the city approved plans for a 1,032-unit mixed-use development by Panoramic Interests<\/a>. The property was returned to lenders in 2023 after the developer defaulted on a loan, and the current owner, Columbia Pacific Advisors<\/a>, is looking for a buyer for the development opportunity.<\/p>\n The previously approved entitlements secured by Panoramic Interests allowed the construction of three new structures across from the West Oakland BART<\/a> Station, including two mid-rise podium apartments and a 32-story tower. The 340-foot-tall high-rise would have included 456 apartments with retail and parking. The city granted final approval for the project in the summer of 2019.<\/p>\n 500 Kirkham Street phase three tower, rendering by BDE Architecture and SiteLab Urban Studio<\/p>\n Columbia Pacific is responsible for the recent interim-use application. The documents explain that \u201cUntil the market for development of a mixed-use residential project at this site recovers, Applicant requests a temporary Conditional Use Permit for an interim use of the Property as automotive fee parking of approximately 250 spaces, limited to a 5-year period and subject to extension, during which time the site would continue to be marketed for residential development.\u201d<\/p>\n The property is currently being used as a surface parking lot for shipping containers and commercial semi-trucks.<\/p>\n For commuters looking to park at West Oakland BART, the timing of this application might be appreciated, as the agency recently announced that construction will soon begin on the transit-oriented redevelopment<\/a> of the BART-owned surface lots immediately around the station. BART states it expects to start construction on the first phase in the second half of this year.<\/p>\n Subscribe<\/a> to YIMBY\u2019s daily e-mail<\/p>\n Follow<\/a> YIMBYgram for real-time photo updates 500 Kirkham Street<\/a> Columbia Pacific Advisors<\/a><\/p>\n . <\/p>\n![\"500](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/500-Kirkham-Street-phase-three-tower-rendering-by-BDE-Architecture-and-SiteLab-Urban-Studio.jpg\")
