Evan Reis | U.S. Resiliency Council
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (October 7, 2018)—The US Resiliency Council (USRC) announced today that it has awarded a Gold Rating to the new five-story office building in San Francisco’s South of Market (SOMA) neighborhood at 85 Bluxome Street. In response to growing community concerns about resilience, the USRC has established a rating system to evaluate the performance of buildings in response to earthquakes.

The steel-framed building was developed by Bluxome Partners, LLC, designed by RIM Architects and ZFA Structural Engineers, and constructed by BCCI Construction Company…

Dawn Kawamoto | San Francisco Business Times
Adobe recently moved into its new 100 Hooper St. office complex, which is designed to foster creativity and collaboration. The campus is a huge investment and expansion in San Francisco for the San Jose-based maker of multimedia, marketing and creativity software.

Some Bay Area Restrictions Relax Monday: Here’s What to Expect
The next phase of the coronavirus shelter at home orders begin Monday in the Bay Area, with several businesses allowed to start up again under new rules to protect the health of workers and the general public.
When shelter in place orders went into effect, construction sites across the region were just about abandoned, with crews having only hours to secure them before having to leave. Getting them back up and running will be a little more complicated.
“How you que up to get into the buildings, elevators, you know you can only get three or four people into an elevator to practice the proper social distancing,” said Mike Scribner, CEO of BCCI Construction. “So there’s definitely going to be challenges around that.”
Managers have been painstakingly organizing how crews will work under modified COVID-19 prevention conditions.
“[We can only have] one person per 500-square-feet, so it’s really kind of a dance we have to do,” Scribner said.
