The community is immediately adjacent to UC Berkeley’s Energy Biosciences Building and two blocks from the Downtown Berkeley BART Station, which offers a 14-minute commute to Downtown Oakland and a 26-minute connection to Downtown San Francisco. AC Transit and Amtrak are also easily accessible from the community.

Select homes include separate dining and den areas, walk-in closets, loft layouts and private balconies or patios.
