BERKELEY — Demolition looms for the last historic theater in downtown Berkeley after the city council unanimously sided Tuesday with a developer seeking to build a 17-story apartment complex over a local group looking to preserve the art space.

A 227-unit housing development with a ground floor cafe is poised to replace the United Artists Theater at 2274 Shattuck Ave., a once grand 1,800-seat movie palace built in 1932 that was converted into a seven-screen theater before being shuttered by Cineworld in 2023.
