The Beacon
Scope/Solutions
Responding to an increasing demand for San Francisco housing, Catellus developed The Beacon as a mixed-use complex for city living in the Mission Bay neighborhood. Located on an entire city block in close proximity to the Giants’ ballpark and waterfront, The Beacon is comprised of eight concrete buildings varying in height from seven to sixteen stories. The 1.5 million sq ft complex has 595 apartments; accommodates 1,000 cars; and houses many amenities, including a pool, spa, clubhouse, fitness center, grocery store, and other retail and commercial space. SGH consulted on the building enclosure design.
Highlights of our work include the following:
- Worked with the architect on design development through completion of construction documents and construction administration
- Assisted with the design of roofing and waterproofing for podium decks, balcony decks, and below-grade components
- Observed installation of waterproofing systems and materials during construction to compare with the design intent
- Evaluated value engineering substitutions proposed by the contractor and provided recommendations

Additional Projects
West
Lane Building, 8th and Spring Streets
The historic Lane Building is a twelve-story, nonductile concrete structure originally constructed in the early 1920s. SGH collaborated with the project team to design seismic strengthening that could be integrated with the proposed program, while maintaining the building’s historic character.
West
181 Fremont Street
At the time it was constructed, the 802 ft tower at 181 Fremont was the third tallest building in San Francisco and the tallest residential building on the west coast. SGH consulted on the roofing and waterproofing for the project.
