Meals on Wheels of SF

Plant is about to begin preconstruction on a new facility for Meals on Wheels of SF. Meals on Wheels, now delivering over 1.6 million meals per year, has outgrown their existing facility on Fairfax Avenue, a few blocks from Plant HQ, and has purchased a piece of property on Jerrold Street, also just a few blocks away. The new 60,000 square foot facility on 2 levels, will contain a new commercial high production kitchen, cold storage, warehouse, loading dock, logistics and office space. Challenges on the project will be the bay mud soil underlying the site, establishing workable easements with neighbors and the construction of the complicated and extensive kitchen. Upon completion of the new building, we will begin the renovation of the 20,000 square foot existing facility on Fairfax ave, which will include interiors work, new elevators and stairways and other improvements. The new building is expected to be a 13 month project, with the existing building being completed 7 months later. Meals on Wheels is an amazing organization, providing a much needed service to our community, and we are excited to be associated with such a good cause.
