(Measure R) lost with 74 percent of the "no" vote — would have killed plans fora proposed $100 million highrise hotel downtown. It would also have hurt the proposed Berkeley Plaza, at the corner of Shattuck Avenue and Kittredge Street, where developers are planning 302 apartments and a retail complexin an 180-foot-tall tower.
These projects are among several projects in downtown Berkeley's pipeline, which is ready to add more than 1,000 new housing units. Some of the projects sprang from the city's decision to allow taller and denser buildings downtown, which was what sparked the fight over Measure R.
