Players Notes — the stories behind the record

This network shows who appears on the record; the Players Notes series tells their stories. Note № 1: Roots & Reckoning — Indian-origin families shaping Berkeley, from the city's 1916 invention of exclusionary zoning to the rise and fall of Lakireddy Bali Reddy, once Berkeley's largest private landlord. An interactive, fully sourced timeline.

What this view does not know yet

The money is missing. Construction lenders live on deeds of trust at the County Recorder; investors in LLC filings with the Secretary of State. Neither is loaded yet — this page will say so until they are. Coverage is majors-heavy: the neighborhood fabric's hundreds of small builders and homeowners aren't named in the record.

Who appears here. Everyone named on the record in a professional role — developer, architect, applicant, firm or person — plus owners that are organizations. The 2,294 individual owners (including family trusts) are named in the Explorer and the database rather than drawn here, so the graph shows who builds rather than every household that holds title. Their parcels are shown, as title records, on the ownership map. And a line between two players means they appear on the same project — the record does not know who hired whom.

Derived 2026-10-07 from the canonical v4 database (the people named on each project's records: developers from the state's tax-credit list and the plans' title blocks, architects from the plans, applicants from the Planning log and the plans, current owners of record; pipeline mix uses the same stages as the Explorer and the Pipeline State). Spellings of one firm are one node. Cross-role identities (e.g. a developer that also owns) are one node. Generator: scripts/gen_players_page.py — regenerates from the record; never hand-edited. ← berkeleybuild.com
