I spoke too soon. Not confirmed it’s arson, although there have been several apartment complexes under construction that have been set on fire in the East Bay over the last couple of years. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/amp/Oakland-construction-fire-just-the-latest-11272591.php …

This appears to be the Ice House Project, part of the Wood Street Development approved in 2005. Comments on environmental impact report indicate opposition at the time. http://www2.oaklandnet.com/government/o/PBN/OurOrganization/PlanningZoning/DOWD008410 …

No that's a different project that's completed called Station House. This one is about a mile east:https://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/news/2018/06/29/city-ventures-housing-west-oakland-townhouses.html …

Never enough resource to investigate possible arson of renters homes, but I’ll bet they have the resources to investigate this one

Hopefully the ATF and FBI get involved.

This is a block from my home. I am so, so saddened. This project would have welcomed some new neighbors and desperately needed retail in what was a vacant light industrial site.

You don't have to be a genius to suspect it's arson. I am so sad for Oakland. A city with many problems desperately trying to get out of the mess and some folks just don't want it to change.

What evidence exists insurance costs will go up for all new housing projects because of a few isolated fires? Insurance risk should be far greater for the thousands of dilapidated, crappy, living hazard structures across the Bay Area rich landlords charge high rents for.

Nine fires. Five total losses. Two of those total losses were the same building, burned twice.
