Berkeley\u2019s most fabled housing came from such legends as Bernard Maybeck, Julia Morgan and Walter Ratcliff. But the builder who has done the most to change the city\u2019s landscape since the 1990\u2019s is Patrick Kennedy. Kennedy won approval to build market rate housing in downtown Berkeley when none had been constructed since World War 2. He was arguably the first YIMBY, making arguments for building taller and denser infill housing that have become staples of the pro-housing movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kennedy\u2019s Panoramic Interests&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.panoramic.com\/projects\/\">has built 699 units<\/a>&nbsp;in Berkeley in 16 projects. It has 476 more units in 7 projects in the pipeline. No other builder comes close to matching Panoramic\u2019s visual impact on the Berkeley landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How did Kennedy do it? How did a person arriving in Berkeley in 1986 overcome five decades of the city\u2019s anti-housing policies? Kennedy has surmounted seemingly insurmountable barriers to get housing built in both Berkeley and San Francisco. Could his approach be a model for others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is how Kennedy\u2019s Panoramic Interests succeeded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The First YIMBY?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Patrick Kennedy was attending Harvard Law School he decided he did not want to be a practicing attorney. He took a break to get a masters degree in real estate development from MIT. After passing the bar he went to work at BART in its real estate department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kennedy\u2019s Berkeley legacy started when he built a three unit condo. He then built a 24 unit condo project at Shattuck and Hearst. Panoramic Interests went on to develop 473 units, most in large projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kennedy was a 1990\u2019s builder talking about housing in 21st century terms. He urged cities to \u201cdecriminalize housing development\u201d&nbsp; and promoted \u201ctransit oriented development\u201d decades before the YIMBY movement made these terms commonplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Berkeley City Council ultimately had the power to approve or kill projects. It had not been swayed by pro-housing arguments in the past. Kennedy changed this dynamic. He did&nbsp; so by building political support among progressive groups supporting more housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three constituencies in particular turned out at council meetings to back Kennedy\u2019s projects: disabled activists associated with the renown Center for Independent Living, environmentalists connected with the Greenbelt Alliance, and UC Berkeley students. Kennedy did in Berkeley what Joe O\u2019Donoghue was doing for the Residential Builders Association in San Francisco: they mobilized political support for housing projects so that naysayers stopped dominating hearings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kennedy aligned his projects with longtime council member Shirley Dean. Dean was the leading \u201cmoderate\u201d on the council for years before serving as mayor from 1994-2002. She was an anathema to progressives. Progressive council members like Dona Spring almost consistently opposed Kennedy\u2019s projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kennedy\u2019s Panoramic Interests became a political lightning rod. After progressive councilmember Carla Woodworth broke from the progressive consensus and backed a Kennedy project, the six term incumbent was defeated for re-election in 1996 due to her vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kennedy was Berkeley\u2019s first developer to use the state density bonus enacted in 1978. He suspects other builders didn\u2019t know about it. Kennedy\u2019s legal training likely contributed to his being a builder who always understood the legal landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kennedy sold all of this Berkeley properties in 2007. He and his wife wanted to move to San Francisco so he shifted Panoramic Interests focus there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kennedy\u2019s Housing for the Unhoused<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kennedy built three projects in San Francisco. All in the South of Market. What would have been Panoramic\u2019s biggest impact was never implemented: a cost-effective strategy for housing the unhoused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In February 2017 Kennedy&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/beyondchron.org\/reinventing-residential-hotel-one-way-help-solve-housing-crisis-affecting-san-francisco-american-cities\/\">wrote a story<\/a>&nbsp;for Beyond Chron touting a new strategy for reducing homelessness. As he described:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>It is a multi-story, modular, prefabricated housing system that meets all of San Francisco\u2019s building and seismic codes and eliminates many of the costly aspects of micro-apartment development. And because of its size, design&nbsp;, and use of technology, the&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/panoramic-interests\/panoramic-interests-micropad-homeless-housing-solution-a7dc3fe2c5cc#.zhznlc16h\"><em>MicroPAD<\/em><\/a><em>\u00ae represents a complete modernization and reinvention the residential hotel.<\/em><em>\u2026<\/em><em>the MicroPAD building system reduces development times by 40<\/em><em>\u201350% and offers project cost savings of 30%-40% over conventional development<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Kennedy contacted me about the MicroPAD we had several THC tenants visit a mock unit. They loved it. Mayor Ed Lee also loved the idea of our leasing these units. But he told me I had to get the San Francisco Building Trades Council sign off on a city-funded project using modular housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I pitched the plan to Michael Terriot, then the union\u2019s head. I offered to condition the city\u2019s support for modular housing for the unhoused on legislation banning it for other projects. But he did not want to open the modular housing door.&nbsp;So Kennedy\u2019s cost effective strategy for housing the unhoused went nowhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I tried to revive the modular strategy in 2020. I wrote a story about how San Francisco could house 6000 homeless persons in two years. See \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/beyondchron.org\/solving-san-franciscos-homelessness\/\">Solving San Francisco\u2019s Homeless Crisis<\/a>.\u201d The city could have used Kennedy\u2019s housing strategy instead of wrecking the Tenderloin\u2019s Little Saigon by converting tourist hotels in the area to shelters. But the city again missed a major opportunity to meaningfully homelessness. These photos show the Berkeley project for the unhoused that Kennedy could have replicated in San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/beyondchron.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Lead-26-07-13b.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56407\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/beyondchron.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Lead-26-07-13c.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56408\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kennedy is not as positive on modular as he once was. He sees a problem with its use in tight infill sites due to traffic issues. But there remain enough viable sites for the Lurie Administration to examine the feasibility of Kennedy\u2019s strategy. Kennedy thinks 2000 units is still doable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building in SF is \u201cImpossible\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kennedy describes building private market housing in San Francisco as \u201cimpossible.\u201d He blames the city\u2019s dysfunctional inclusionary housing rules. Not the percentage of affordable units\u2014which Mayor Lurie and the Board is moving to sharply lower\u2013but the extreme delays in filling these affordable units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kennedy\u2019s project at 333 12th Street had 26 below market rent units. After 2 and 1\/2 years, the Mayor\u2019s Office of Housing filled only eight of the vacancies. This with a waiting list of 3000! Kennedy offered to provide staff to MOH to process applications for vacancies. They weren\u2019t interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">San Francisco could easily fix this problem by allowing the owners to fill their own vacancies. MOH would then monitor to ensure income limits have been met. Instead the city remains wedded to a Rube Goldberg-like placement strategy that keeps affordable units vacant, costs nonprofit owners desperately needed funds and pushes builders like Panoramic out of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Returning to Berkeley<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So Kennedy returned to Berkeley. In my 2018 book&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucpress.edu\/books\/generation-priced-out\/paper\">Generation Priced Out<\/a>, I was very critical of Berkeley\u2019s anti-housing policies for driving out the working and middle-class. But Berkeley has become one of the nation\u2019s most pro-housing cities. Kennedy just finished a project on Francisco Street at Shattuck and has two approved North Berkeley projects left to build. All three are on the Northside, where little new housing has been built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patrick Kennedy has \u201cnever been more bullish about Berkeley.\u201d His persistence in trying to get housing built has encouraged other builders. Kennedy and Panoramic Interests have provided Berkeley with a more vibrant and inclusive future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beyondchron.org\/author\/randy\/\">Randy Shaw<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Randy Shaw is the Editor of Beyond Chron and the Director of San Francisco\u2019s Tenderloin Housing Clinic, which publishes Beyond Chron.
