Essex Property Trust Proposes High-Density Residential Tower In Oakland

Essex Property Trust and Swenson Builders have plans to build a 294-unit residential tower near Jack London Square and Lake Merritt BART in Oakland. This 16-story tower would become Essex’s third residential tower in Oakland, the San Francisco Business Times reports.
