OAKLAND, CA—1700 Webster is a 23-story residential tower set in downtown. Designed by Perkins + Will, the building will feature a partially enclosed rooftop with a lounge and a pool, and a fifth-story elevated plaza deck with a fitness center and lounge areas. The project is scheduled for completion in winter 2018/spring 2019.

Privately held building contractor Suffolk was selected to manage the construction by Portland-based developer Gerding Edlen. Suffolk will utilize its “build smart” approach, such as using the latest lean construction principles, and virtual design and construction to enhance team-wide collaboration, increase efficiencies and minimize waste. The Suffolk team also performed extensive preconstruction services for the project, including a complete 5D estimating process.
