More than a decade in the making, the 950,000-sq-ft Gateway at Millbrae Station (GMS) is one of the largest transit oriented developments in the U.S. Created through a public-private partnership, the development now connects a live/work/play community to the San Francisco Bay Area and San Francisco International Airport through Millbrae Station.

The construction of the $96-million, 115,000-sq-ft, LEED Gold-certified athletics and educational community college facility in Redwood, Calif., would test Blach Construction’s safety program in unique ways.

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.
