| 888 Brannan Street's new lobby atrium and courtyard are nearly completed. |
General Contractor Richlen Construction is putting the final bling on San Francisco's South of Market's 888 Brannan Street’s full restoration.
Richlen is nearing completion of the 135,051 square feet Class A technology office space and wholesale GiftCenter & JewelryMart remodel.
This building was truly a diamond in the rough! Built 101 years ago, the five-story historical commercial property revealed its layers of multiple purposes and renovations. Now brand new mechanical, electrical, plumbing systems, and fixtures have been installed throughout the structure to support its fresh features. An opened Lobby and atrium featuring a “live waterfall wall," welcomes guests to sit and enjoy a beverage from the new café. Another inviting option for seating is just beyond the security desk, an outdoor courtyard and patio. The new security and registration counter is now closer to the relocated loading dock. We have helped make it easier for security to monitor and receive deliveries for merchants and tenants. We have also added brand new elevators and refurbished existing stairs. Employees of the businesses on site, and registered guest shoppers will find the gift and jewelry showrooms and restrooms easier to find, new signs, painted walls, and lighting fixtures, along with a tunnel allow access to over 125 wholesalers. Literally, every interior surface from floor to ceiling to its exterior, including the roof has been scraped down by hand or sandblasted and refreshed with paint or resurfaced entirely.
When the final punch-list is completed, 888 Brannan Street will be LEED Certified. A welcome attribute to new business owners looking for affordable leasing space with “office of the future” environmental quality amenities.
The refurbishment of 888 Brannan Street, we at Richlen can only believe will put San Francisco's South of Market back on the must "stops" when in the city!
