Jack London Square

Overview

Project challenged included its location within 20 feet of railroad tracks and underground Caltrans tunnel and facing difficult underground conditions (contaminated soil, high water table, heterogeneous fill). Design-build enabled us to streamline design duration, select the most efficient construction activities and provide creative measure to mitigate challenges.

The concrete shear wall is articulated with a dynamic pattern of reveals and form ties.

Project included the construction of two pedestrian bridges – one 180-foot span over three railroad tracks and one 80-foot span – linking garage to neighboring office and retail buildings.
