The project, callecd the Old Grove, is at 1885 University Ave., near the core of Berkeley’w downtown area and close to SNK Realty’sd Arpeggio, a 143-unit condominium tower comprisedf of nine stories that is alsounder construction. “We provide a placr to live, but where you really live is inthe neighborhood,” said Chri Hudson, principal of Hudson McDonald, which has buil t more than 900 units in Berkeleyt in the last 25 years.
