Missing-Middle Gentle Apartment Building on College Av

2887 College Avenue, Berkeley, CA 94705
Missing-Middle (gentle density) apartment building on Berkeley's mixed-use artery Colleve Avenue. The City of Berkeley's planning staff has publicly identified exactly three sites on College Avenue as the most likely redevelopment candidates under the Berkeley Corridors Zoning Update — and 2887 College is the one. It's the strip mall anchored by the 7-Eleven at College and Russell, sitting on a deep commercial parcel in the Elmwood. City Council signaled support in November 2025 for raising the height cap on College Avenue, with a vocal contingent pushing for as many as seven stories. Even at the more conservative end of the proposal, the site comfortably accommodates a 3–4 story missing-middle building of roughly 15–30 units.
