Gilbane Development Company has officially begun construction on Pique, a new student housing development located at 2587 Telegraph Ave in Berkeley, CA. The eight-story building will offer 52 units and a total of 485 beds specifically designed for students attending the nearby University of California Berkeley.
The project is set to be completed by summer of 2026 and will also include ground-floor retail space spanning over 2,900 square feet. According to Christian Cerria, development director at Gilbane Development Company, the focus is on creating an efficient and functional design that caters to the needs of Berkeley students while remaining affordable.
Pique stands out as it will be the first student housing project in Gilbane’s portfolio to feature balconies in all units as well as equal bedroom/bathroom ratios and split bathrooms for added privacy and mental well-being. This groundbreaking approach showcases their commitment towards innovation within this market segment.
