Come hear about the large development projects that are proposing to make significant investments in our Downtown and environs and that will help achieve our new vision for Berkeley's "living room."

• Acheson Commons - In the Heart of Downtown Berkeley
  An exciting new project that will transform the heart of Downtown Berkeley. Acheson Commons will reinvigorate and restore several important Berkeley landmarks, while creating new residential and retail destinations just steps from the Arts District, BART and the Cal campus. Acheson Commons is green and sustainable development because it places well designed urban housing next to excellent transit and retail commerical opportunties.
