Patrick Kennedy​

Patrick Kennedy is the owner of Panoramic Interests, a development firm that has been building housing, live-work space, and commercial property in the Bay Area since 1990. The firm has focused on dense, mixed-use, mixed-income, infill developments, typically financed with private funds.  All of the multi-family housing projects include below market rate units.

Since 1995, Panoramic Interests has built 689 units of housing in several mixed-use projects in and around downtown Berkeley and San Francisco.  The firm’s projects incorporate the Smart Growth principles designed to discourage auto use, mitigate sprawl, encourage local business, and enhance the pedestrian streetscape.

In April, 2007 Panoramic Interests sold its rental portfolio of 7 buildings to the Equity Residential Apartment REIT of Chicago for $146,000,000, the largest real-estate transaction in Berkeley’s history.

Panoramic is now focusing exclusively on CITYSPACES®--small, stylish, efficient dwellings, in walkable neighborhoods.  In August of 2015, the firm completed The Panoramic:  the first high-rise micro-apartment in the U.S.; the 160-unit car-free project is one block from the Twitter headquarters
