The preliminary application now seeks to produce 60 units across a six-story structure. Principal architect of <a href=\"https:\/\/sfyimby.com\/category\/ifr-architecture\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IFR<\/a>, Ian F. Ream, is listed as the project applicant.<\/p>\n<p>The latest preliminary application has been filed almost exactly three years after IFR\u2019s previous preliminary application, which we covered in mid-June 2023. The new application has seen a few updates to the proposal, though a detailed plan set has yet to be shared by the city.<\/p>\n<p>The filing calls for a 78-foot-tall structure with 60 apartments and a 34-car garage. Additional space would be provided for 76 bicycles. Of the 60 units, six will be deed-restricted as affordable to very-low-income households. Senate Bill 330 has been invoked to streamline the approval process.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27016\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2201-San-Pablo-Avenue-illustration-by-IFR-Architecture.jpg\" alt=\"2201 San Pablo Avenue, illustration by IFR Architecture\" width=\"1500\" height=\"945\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">2201 San Pablo Avenue circa 2023 application, illustration by IFR Architecture<\/p>\n<p>The property is near San Pablo Avenue and Allston Way, near AC Transit bus stops. Residents will be 15 minutes from Berkeley\u2019s Amtrak Station, where the Capitol Corridor trains move between the Bay Area and Sacramento. Future residents will be 20 minutes away from the North Berkeley BART Station on foot, or 10 minutes from Downtown by bicycle.<\/p>\n<p>The property owner is listed as a Santa Clara-based family trust. The project applicant has yet to reply to a request for comment by YIMBY sent last week. The estimated cost and timeline for construction have not yet been shared.<\/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:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https%3A%2F%2Fsfyimby.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1777839493_227_google_preferred_source_badge.png\" width=\"245\" height=\"40\" alt=\"Make YIMBY preferred on Google\"\/><\/a><\/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\/2201-san-pablo-avenue\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2201 San Pablo Avenue<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/sfyimby.com\/category\/ifr-architecture\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IFR Architecture<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/sfyimby.com\/category\/ifr-design-studio\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IFR Design Studio<\/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":"2201 San Pablo Avenue, image via Google Satellite By: Andrew Nelson 5:30 am on June 15, 2026 Updated&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":705780,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[228,226,227,229,88],"class_list":["post-705779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705779","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=705779"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705779\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/705780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=705779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=705779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=705779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
