Construction Updates

FAQ re: our project

What is the scope of work for this project?
The scope of this project includes strengthening the building’s foundation and elevator core, as well as constructing new vertical shear walls attached to the building exterior on the balconies, and wrapping the existing balcony columns.

Will the exterior appearance of the building be changed?
The new vertical shear walls will be visible from the outside, and they will be well within the footprint of the existing balconies.  The change in appearance will not be significant enough to alter the overall character of the building.

What are the construction hours?
Weekdays 7 AM – 4 PM with noisy hours limited to 8 AM – 3:30 PM.  No work is planned for weekends or holidays.

Where will construction materials be stored?
Materials will be stored onsite within the fenced construction zone.

Where will trucks stage (i.e., cement trucks and delivery trucks for other building materials)?
Trucks, cranes, and other construction vehicles are planned to operate onsite within the fenced construction zone.  There may be minor impacts to traffic on days with concrete pours for cement trucks. Traffic and pedestrian traffic control will be in place to minimize traffic congestion and pedestrian safety.

Where will the residents and staff be parking during construction?
We are renting offsite parking for all displaced residents and staff to avoid any additional neighborhood parking burden.

Where will the construction teams park?
The general contractor’s employees will be parking onsite within the fenced area.  All subcontractors will park offsite and make individual arrangements for long-term parking. Subcontractors are encouraged to carpool to minimize impact to neighborhood parking.

What number should I call if problems arise?
Our front desk team members are available anytime at (510) 597-6700 to help address any concerns about the project.

Will the fencing come down after the construction is done?
Yes, the temporary fencing will come down at the end of the project.
