Property developer oWow has decided to convert the usage of the 18-story tower under construction at 1510 Webster in Oakland, a site at which Rockridge Geotechnical completed an investigation. The tower was initially supposed to be mixed-use, providing both residential units and office space; however, increasing vacancy rates and decreasing demand for office space led oWow to convert the tower to solely residential. 1510 Webster will now provide 222 units of housing and no office space.
