Charles Pankow Builders’ involvement in the Jack London Square redevelopment project began in 2000, and its most recent contribution was the $34.3-million design-build of a seven-level, 1,092-car parking structure with 30,000 sq ft of retail, bus plaza and pedestrian bridges.
The use of design-build enabled the project team to streamline design duration, select the most efficient construction methods such as precast, and tighten the sequencing of activities to meet the owner’s needs. When site issues arose due to underground conditions or utilities and public agencies, the project team was able to provide creative and time/cost effective measures to mitigate the impacts.
