Located on a landscaped 13-acre site, the existing San Rafael Corporate Center Campus consisted of two, three-story office buildings with 162,500 SF. This $46 million phased campus expansion project included the construction of two new, four-story structural steel buildings with a total of 160,000 SF as well as a multi-story parking structure. The buildings consisted of structural steel construction with stucco exterior skin system to match the existing campus structures. The parking garages also included exterior finishes to compliment the overall campus look and feel. The entire project was designed and built to achieve LEED® Gold certification.

This four-story, 180,000 SF building is being constructed in the Eastlake neighborhood to accommodate future biotech and research laboratory tenants. Shell and core construction of this project includes soldier piles, mass/structural excavation, auger cast piles, site utilities, cast-in-place concrete, shot concrete, curtain wall/cladding systems, roofing, elevators, finish work, and design-build MEP systems. The structure will include underground parking, labs, offices, and roof top hardscape area. Construction is scheduled for 15 months with an anticipated completion date of April 2010. This project is pursuing LEED® Silver Certification.

Nektar is relocating their corporate headquarters into the 455 Mission Bay building that BNB recently completed. The 100,000 SF tenant improvement will include offices, research and development labs, and pre-clinical spaces. The project is pursing LEED® Silver certification and will be completed August 2010.

The Varian Information Rich Detection Center project accommodated the merging of two independently operating businesses. The first phase completed was Phase One of Building 2. This included the initial phase of voluntary seismic upgrades and 12,000 SF of lab tenant improvements. The second phase involved the construction of Building 1. The original 36,000 SF single-story building was demolished and replaced with a new 43,700 SF single-story building housing Varian’s customer application and demonstration laboratories, research and development labs, and other administrative functions. The last phase, Phase Two of Building 2, included the remaining voluntary seismic upgrades, modifications to the existing building exterior, and interior renovations to the existing 40-year-old, single-story building.

This $1 million office tenant improvement project included the build-out of 16,000 SF to accommodate office space. The new space included community conference rooms, reception area, kitchen, and offices designed with an “open-office” philosophy. This three-month project was constructed on a fast-track schedule with completion April 2009.

The Bank of California Building is located in the heart of downtown Seattle. This $1.2 million, lobby renovation project updated the feel of the space with Rojo Alicante marble, quartered figured makore wood panels, metal panel clad security station, and flat panel monitors. All wall and ceiling surfaces were cleaned and sealed to preserve the materials and new wood paneling was installed in the elevator corridor. The project also included upgrades to the MEP systems in addition to new light fixtures throughout the lobby. About 95 of the work was completed off-hours to allow the facility to remain open during construction.

BNB provided General Contractor services to construct this signature speculative tenant project for Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. Located in South San Francisco, the East Jamie Court project consists of two, four-story structures linked by a circular pedestrian plaza. Buildings 1 & 2 accommodate three floors of lab space and office space. Each building has an exterior service yard and trash enclosure as well as a full mechanical penthouse on the roof. The two buildings also feature high-end skin systems consisting of GFRC, metal panels, and curtainwall systems. The site is developed alongside the SF Baylands and includes a new section of Bayland (BCDC) Trail. The pedestrian plaza includes custom colored concrete and stone paving, seating areas, and a grand staircase leading down to the Bayland Trail. This project is LEED® Certified.

BNB provided preconstruction and construction services for Corixa’s new corporate headquarters. This 100,000 SF project included extensive labs, work stations, and private offices. The project is located in a new mid-rise downtown office building that was still under construction during this build-out. Corixa also included master planning for future expansion to include a 13,000 SF cGMP suite.

Spectacular views from the offices are accentuated by fitted glass entry walls, sliding doors, and acoustically-built with privacy in mind. Flush with beautiful architectural finishes, these materials range from exotic Venetian plaster and imago panels to custom layered plywood accent walls. Flooring ranged from recycled Australian hardwood at common areas to colorful VCT in the laboratories.

This 65,000 SF tenant improvement within an existing five-story shell consisted of two levels of research and development labs, one level of support and corporate offices, mechanical rooms, and two levels of parking. ISB presented many challenges. It had an extremely aggressive schedule; programming began in April with an early December occupancy. The shell was new, but originally intended as a multi-tenant office building. Clear height in most areas was only 10’5”. Slabs were post-tensioned with maximum dead load capacity of 5 PSF. Vertical penetrations were essentially limited to two existing shafts. This challenge was compounded by two elements: First, offices required upgrades of HVAC capacity to 100% outside air to accommodate potential conversion to labs. Second, 25% spare capacity was added to the mechanical and electrical systems to allow for future expansion. BNBuilders completed this $16 million project 18 days ahead of the contractual completion date with limited overtime.

Situated on a two-acre site in Redmond’s Willows area, this 21,000 SF project provided the new headquarters for Legacy Roofing. Overall, the site-cast, concrete tilt-up structure included 18,000 SF of office and administrative space on the main level, 3,000 SF of mezzanine, and 10,000 SF of warehouse space. An additional 5,000 SF sub-lease space is located on the main level of the building. Site improvements associated with the project included all utilities, paving, sidewalks, fencing, landscaping, and irrigation.
