Cityview’s 378-unit opportunity zone res project in Oakland is slated for completion in December 2023. The development, named Portico, is an upscale waterfront community located at 37 8th Ave in Brooklyn Basin’s master-planned community.
The eight-story project is designed to meet LEED Silver standards. It will feature a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments as well as townhomes, with more than 80% of the units overlooking the water.
Portico features amenities designed to foster resident connection and relaxation, including a rooftop sky lounge, pool and spa deck, quiet courtyard, outdoor pet spa, indoor and outdoor fitness areas, movement studio, clubroom, wine cellar, game room and leasing lobby lounge. Managed WiFi will be available throughout the community, and an expansive coworking space will provide private and community workspaces for those who work from home.
All units will include high-end finishes, including stainless steel appliances, smart thermostats, large closets, air conditioning, full-sized washer and dryers, keyless entry, luxury vinyl plank flooring and kitchens with fully tiled backsplashes as well as hard quartz countertops. Portico features low-flow fixtures, Energy Star certified appliances, a solar thermal system that helps provide hot water for units and energy efficient windows. The project will also include 331 parking spaces for residents and guests.
Located on the Oakland Estuary, Brooklyn Basin will offer diverse retail and cultural amenities for Portico residents to enjoy, including 32 acres of parks, a promenade, restored wetlands, a new marina, event space for concerts and art exhibits and 200k sf of retail offerings.
Portico’s residents have access to Brooklyn Basin’s private transit shuttle service, seamlessly connecting them to the water ferry in Jack London Square as well as BART stations in Lake Merritt and downtown Oakland in less than 10 minutes. The project is also minutes away from Interstate 880, allowing a short commute to San Jose, San Francisco and Berkeley.
The location provides convenient access to some of the area’s most notable attractions, including Jack London Square, Oakland Museum of California, Lake Merritt, Oakland’s Chinatown, Fox Theater, USS Potomac and the Oakland Convention Center.
Portico’s name was inspired by the historic columns at Township Commons, Oakland’s newest waterfront public park, which is located in Brooklyn Basin. The park transforms a former shipping facility into an expansive public space designed to host outdoor activities and small community gatherings.
Cityview partnered with general contractors James E. Roberts Obayashi and Webcor, architecture firm AC Martin and interior design firm Nadia Geller Designs on the project. Portico generated more than 2,000 jobs for the community.
