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.

Pier 70 – Building 14

Lauren Wesson — Wed, 03 Jan 2018 21:42:43 +0000

Building 14 was the Heavy Warehouse located at the core of the Bethlehem Steel shipyard of Pier 70, on the southeastern waterfront of San Francisco. The shipyard was originally the Union Iron Works of the 1880’s and then most recently Bethlehem Steel Shipyards of the 1940’s. This district is being protected under the National Register of Historic Places. The work on this building was to completely renovate both exterior and interior of the building. It also included the addition of a mezzanine and seismic bracing. The interior improvements for Obscura Digital were very sparse, including new restrooms, kitchen and a few office spaces on the mezzanine, the reminder of the space will be used as light industrial workshop for this well-known digital production company. We worked very closely with both the landlord and the tenant to make this a very cost effective and elegant buildout closely suited to the tenant’s needs.
