Contractors in Burlingame, Calif., are wrapping up a tricky maneuver to move an historic 1940s post office approximately 120 ft from its current location to make room for the construction of an underground parking structure directly beneath the building’s footprint. 

Builders of one of California’s largest transit-oriented developments (TODs) are crediting the use of an innovative pre-engineered, light-gauge metal-framing system for keeping the $400-million-plus mixed-use project on time and on budget.  

The 313,000-sq-ft, mixed-use building includes much needed affordable housing for UCLA Medical’s staff of residents, fellows and interns as well as retail space and underground parking.

This 160,000-sq-ft structure features four stories of adaptable, creative workspace in the commercially robust and rapidly developing area of Westside LA.

A “riddle” is how Brandon Dillingham, managing director for Houston-based real estate developer Hines, describes 100 Mill, the 17-story, mixed-use tower his company and Cousins Properties are integrating into a 2.5-acre parcel in Tempe, Ariz. 

Construction of the sprawling, 39-acre entertainment district should begin in 2022.
