Oakland's Planning Commission approved on Wednesday two highrise projects, adding more density to its downtown.

CIM Group, the city's biggest office landlord, won approval for 2 Kaiser Plaza. The office project has two alternatives: 670,000 square feet of workspace in a 250-foot tower or 1.1 million square feet in a 450-foot tower, which would be the city's tallest building.

RAD Urban received approval for 2044 Franklin St, a 29-story mixed-use tower that is one block from CIM's project.

Oakland-based RAD Urban's project includes 184 residential units, 57,000 square feet of office and 6,750 square feet of ground-floor commercial space.

More than a dozen towers are approved in Oakland's downtown, and four have started construction in the past two years. Developers have flocked to the city, attracted by soaring office and housing rents, an abundance of empty parcels and a government that has generally welcomed growth.

At this level of development, should Oakland have its own thread? Without one, I am completely lost among the "more than a dozen" approved projects.
