Description

Located at the corner of University Avenue and Oxford Street, Hellen Diller Anchor House is a transformative project that will set a new standard for student residential living and help transfer students to thrive academically, socially, and culturally. The net income generated by the property will fund scholarships for undergraduates from underrepresented populations and first-generation college students.

The certified LEED Gold building includes 244 apartments with individual bedrooms for 772 students, a rooftop garden, a culinary classroom, a gym, and well-designed retail spaces. Situated in the perimeter of the UC Berkeley campus and only 3 blocks from the Berkeley BART station, Anchor House adds much needed housing to the UC Berkeley student body, where a significant percentage of students are challenged to live on or near campus. Anchor House is currently in the construction phase, and retail spaces are expected to be delivered midyear 2023.

The design of Anchor House seeks to set a higher standard for student residential living. The project team is composed of award-winning design firms, including lead design architects Morris Adjmi Architects, locally based architects BDE, Brand Bureau/AvroKO for experience and interior design, and Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture for the landscape design.

The Anchor House features some of the best new retail space in Berkeley and sits at the base of a 776-bed student housing project that supports the retail. Anchored by the Cal Bookstore, these well-designed side-by-side spaces can be delivered in a warm shell condition and potentially with restaurant infrastructure.
