More in less. We design buildings that ask cities to do more with what they already have. Add homes and street-level enterprise without paving another acre.
Between 1998 and 2004, we built seven mixed-use buildings in downtown Berkeley and became the largest private landlord of UC Berkeley students. In 2007, Equity Residential acquired our portfolio in the largest real-estate transaction in Berkeley's history. In 2015, we completed the first car-free, high-rise micro-apartment project in the United States.
Four convictions that shape every project.
Each project starts with a question of what this block wants to become. It has to clear four tests before a drawing leaves the office.
01
Density
More homes on less land. Compact buildings on small urban sites the rest of the market overlooks, turning quarter-acre lots into dozens of households.
02
Transit
We build where transit already runs. BART, AC Transit, the urban core — close enough that owning a car becomes a choice, not a requirement.
03
Sustainability
Energy-efficient envelopes, on-site car-share, rooftop gardens. The first car-free, high-rise micro-apartment project in the U.S. was ours.
04
Community
Ground-floor retail for local businesses. Courtyards that face the block. Design that pays attention to how a neighborhood actually moves.
Three buildings. One short walk to campus.
Southside, Elmwood, and Northside Berkeley. Furnished off-campus housing, private bedrooms in shared layouts, and six to ten minutes' walk to UC Berkeley.
Living in Berkeley as a Cal student.
Three furnished Panoramic apartment buildings near UC Berkeley. Each neighborhood lines up with a different stage of student and academic life.
Southside & Telegraph Avenue.
Most undergrads moving off-campus in their second or third year land in Southside. Telegraph Avenue carries the daily retail. Moe's Books at 2476 Telegraph, Amoeba Music at 2455, People's Park on Haste. Sather Gate is six minutes north through Sproul Plaza. Panoramic Berkeley at 2539 Telegraph Avenue is the closest-to-campus option, furnished, with private bedrooms with locks and a direct walk to campus.
Northside & North Shattuck.
The Gourmet Ghetto along North Shattuck (Chez Panisse at 1517, Cheese Board Pizza at 1512) is quieter than Telegraph and closer to Downtown Berkeley BART for commutes out of Berkeley. Panoramic Northside at 1752 Shattuck sits a ten-minute walk from UC Berkeley's North Gate at Euclid and Hearst Avenues and is the clearest fit for grad student apartments near UC Berkeley.
Furnished, private, near campus.
Panoramic offers furnished off-campus housing near UC Berkeley, with beds, desks, dressers, and storage already in place. Shared layouts include private bedrooms with privacy locks, and Panoramic College adds on-site laundry and secure bike parking. UC Berkeley Off-Campus Rental Services (formerly Cal Rentals) is the university's official off-campus housing office and is a useful cross-reference.
