Gerhart Cole Inc. is also excited to see Mission Rock come to life! We are proud to have supported Cell-Crete Corporation and the Project Team with these efforts. This innovative project leveraged the benefits of lightweight cellular concrete to successfully deliver an important and challenging project on the infamous San Francisco Bay soft soils. #lightweightcellluarconcrete #LCC #partnering #Geotechnical
From waterfront to wonderland, Mission Rock has redefined what’s possible when innovation meets community. Mission Rock in San Francisco has emerged as a vibrant, mixed-use neighborhood near Oracle Park in the Mission Bay neighborhood. Spanning 28 acres, this development, spearheaded by the San Francisco Giants and Tishman Speyer, has transformed and revitalized the aging waterfront into a dynamic community hub. The project required significant earthwork, where lightweight cellular concrete (LCC) was used extensively across the site. 75,000 CY of LCC were installed to address the challenges of building on San Francisco’s soft and compressible soils. Cell-Crete installed LCC across the entire site, underneath the entire park, used as in-fill for all 4 high rise structures, and even appears on the roof sections as part of our lightweight insulated concrete roof hybrid system (LWIC). LCC helped stabilize the ground, reduce settlement, and minimize the load on existing infrastructure, ensuring a solid foundation for the entire development. The area is now bustling with retail shops, restaurants, and cafes, making it a popular destination for both residents and visitors. Public spaces, including the expansive China Basin Park, provide areas for recreation and community gatherings. Cultural institutions and public art installations further enrich the neighborhood’s appeal. Sustainability was a key focus throughout the development, with green building practices, energy-efficient designs, and excellent public transit connections. Mission Rock stands as a model of modern urban development, balancing residential, commercial, and public interests in a cohesive and sustainable way.
