Residential plans have been filed for a four-story mixed-use infill at 1217 Lincoln Avenue here in Alameda. “Infill” refers to the development of housing on vacant, underused, or newly created lots within established urban or suburban neighborhoods.
[1]The proposed infill on Lincoln Avenue will add five residential units and commercial retail space to a vacant 0.1-acre lot between Bay and Sherman streets, two blocks from Littlejohn Park and the Star Harbor apartment complex. It is near Domino’s Pizza and across the street from Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge.
The owner of the lot is listed as TKB Trading LLC.
The proposed residential structure is expected to be 41 feet tall, comprising a total of approximately 8,000 square feet, including 6,000 square feet of housing and 1,000 square feet of ground-level retail businesses, according to an SF Yimby report [3].
“Four of the apartments will have two bedrooms, while the top floor will be dedicated to a three-bedroom penthouse with a private elevator and stairwell. Ground-floor parking will be included for six cars,” the report stated. “Design Collaborative Services is the project architect, and Henry Russell of California Platinum Properties is listed as the project applicant.”
The estimated cost and construction timeline for the project have not yet been made public.
