The property at 1130 Oxford Street has been vacant since a 2020 study identified structural earthquake vulnerability. <a href=\"https:\/\/sfyimby.com\/category\/panoramic-interests\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Panoramic Interests<\/a> is responsible for the application, having purchased the lot from the Berkeley School District for $3 million last October.<\/p>\n<p>The preliminary application invokes Senate Bill 330 to streamline the approval process for the future formal application. The development is looking to construct 32 residences across three-story buildings, averaging around 1,515 square feet per home for a total of 48,480 square feet. Parking will be provided for 32 cars, or one stall per unit. <a href=\"https:\/\/sfyimby.com\/category\/studio-kda\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Studio KDA<\/a> will be responsible for the design, though illustrations have not yet been shared.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44434\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1130-Oxford-Street-image-courtesy-planning-documents.jpg\" alt=\"1130 Oxford Street, image courtesy planning documents\" width=\"1500\" height=\"938\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">1130 Oxford Street, image courtesy planning documents<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, demolition will be required for the existing building. The property has been occupied by the Oxford Public School since 1911, with the current three-story building constructed in 1965 and remodeled in the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>The hillside property is located along Oxford Street between Los Angeles Avenue and Eunice Street. Live Oak Park is just a block away, and the Shattuck Avenue Safeway grocery store is just over ten minutes away on foot.<\/p>\n<p>The estimated cost and timeline for construction have not yet been shared. The development team has not yet submitted the formal planning permits for the project.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/hdjqhz\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Subscribe<\/a> to YIMBY\u2019s daily e-mail<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/yimbygram\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Follow<\/a> YIMBYgram for real-time photo updates<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YIMBYFB\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Like<\/a>\u00a0YIMBY on Facebook<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yimbytweets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Follow<\/a> YIMBY\u2019s Twitter for the latest in YIMBYnews<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sfyimby.com\/category\/1130-oxford-street\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">1130 Oxford Street<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/sfyimby.com\/category\/panoramic-interests\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Panoramic Interests<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/sfyimby.com\/category\/studio-kda\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Studio KDA<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"display: inline;\">. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1130 Oxford Street, image via Google Street View By: Andrew Nelson 5:30 am on January 5, 2026 Preliminary&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":390766,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[228,226,227,229,88],"class_list":{"0":"post-390765","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-design","12":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=390765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/390766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=390765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=390765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
