Cityview’s Portico, a 378-unit, eight-story multifamily opportunity zone project in Oakland, California’s Brooklyn Basin master plan, is now welcoming residents. Offering a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments as well as townhomes, 80% of Portico’s units overlook the water.
“Portico provides 378 units of waterfront housing in one of the fastest growing and most vibrant areas of Oakland,” says Sean Burton, CEO of Cityview. “Cityview was able to leverage our extensive experience developing both in the Bay Area and in opportunity zones to deliver highly amenitized, ideally located housing for the community.”
With controlled access, Portico residents will enjoy a rooftop sky lounge; a resort-style pool and spa deck; an outdoor pet spa and pet park; an indoor/outdoor fitness space; and an outdoor courtyard with fireplaces, a community garden, and outdoor games. Portico’s clubhouse offers a community wine room, game room, and leasing lobby lounge.
In addition to Portico’s amenities, Brooklyn Basin’s extensive waterfront recreational and retail amenities, which will include a network of waterfront parks, a promenade, restored wetlands, a pedestrian and bicycle trail system, event space for concerts and art exhibits, and 200,000 square feet of retail, dining, and shopping space, will also be accessible to residents.
Each apartment will offer a Latch smart home system with keyless entry and smart thermostats; large closets; kitchens with quartz and fully tiled backsplashes; in-unit washers and dryers; and stainless-steel appliances. Residents will also enjoy managed Wi-Fi throughout and tech-enabled workspaces plus meeting rooms.
To meet LEED Silver standards, the community’s sustainability features include low-flow fixtures, Energy Star certified appliances, a solar thermal system that helps provide hot water for units, and energy-efficient windows.
Cityview partnered with general contractors James E. Roberts Obayashi and Webcor, architecture firm AC Martin, and interior design firm Nadia Geller Designs.
