The 41st Street Townhomes project is in Oakland CA at the corner of 41st Street and Linden in the Longfellow neighborhood on the city’s edge with Emeryville. A total of 44 three- and four-bedroom townhomes with 91,000 sf of floor area replaced existing industrial buildings. The townhomes cluster into five detached wood-framed buildings ranging from three to four stories each, which step across the site around an interior parking court. Each townhome contains a dedicated single-car garage and exterior terrace. Buildings along the street step back from the sidewalk edge to introduce a planted area. The driveway gardens and planting area serve to retain and infiltrate the site storm water, mitigating and improving the past industrial use. Greater than half of the total site area is left as open space at ground level.
