UBER MB 1 & 2 MISSION BAY HEADQUARTERS

San Francisco, CA

AlfaTech is currently involved in this Uber’s new San Francisco presence which is a new 420,000 square-foot, ground up office building in the Mission Bay area in San Francisco. Our scope of work includes mechanical, electrical, plumbing, technology, security, and sustainability services. AlfaTech assisted the architectural design team with optimizing performance by assessing various utility, façade and wind studies. The project is designed as an innovative, ultra- high performance building that includes a façade that responds to programmatic needs, an under floor air distribution system, a “winter garden” which acts as the main social space incorporating natural ventilation, and a proposed geothermal system to substantially reduce cooling equipment needs. AlfaTech has been providing MEP Engineering and Technology services for this client in the US and Globally for ten sites, including the new corporate headquarters in San Francisco. This is a state of the art new campus with over 420k SF of offices, a full kitchen and cafeteria. The project will include evaluation of all available sustainability features. Sustainability goals: • Significant reduction of building energy cooling needs by the use of geothermal exchange systems • Aggressive rainwater capture and retention • Natural ventilation for main atrium social areas, creating a pleasant, open experience for employees and visitors • Maximize use of day lighting to optimize workspace quality

LENNAR CANDLESTI CK POINT & HUNTER’S POINT MASTER PLAN San Francisco, CA

The Candlestick Point and Hunter Point Shipyard is a 702-acre development that has the potential to bring most dynamic companies into the area and develop whole communities. This area will house R&D facilities, commercial spaces, multi- use buildings and retail spaces. Parks, trails, and open spaces will be additional features that will attract and enhance the community. The new development will add over 10,000 new residential units in the form of condominiums and low-, mid- and high-rise buildings. There will be over a million square feet of commercial space made available, over three million square feet for Research and Development, as well as over 300,000 square feet of property devoted to community activities. AlfaTech views this holistic approach to community development as an opportunity for Lennar Urban to be at the vanguard of urban design by creating a community infrastructure focused on environmental sustainability, technology, and self- sustaining. This means taking advantage of existing technologies to generate energy with the lowest environmental impact. We conducted a series of sustainable mechanical studies in a master plan scale to help the owners understand the options available to explore the feasibility of Net Zero energy for the new development. Proposed strategies involve:

• Geothermal heat rejection systems • High performance chillers and thermal energy storage • Biodigestion system for heat recovery and energy generation

• Solar photovoltaic array for electricity generation • Rainwater and gray water capture and treatment

Type: Office Size: 116,000 SF

Google occupies the award-winning Frank Gehry designed outer structure on Main Street in Venice. The site consists of 3 buildings with 3 different landlords, grouped into one large campus. Everything was initially gutted to the walls, leaving the landmark Gehry “binoculars” intact. A full cafeteria was installed, along with massage suites, workout rooms and an outdoor amphitheater. This building achieved LEED Platinum status. We faced a couple of challenges here in that the infrastructure for the cafeteria was difficult to design and install in the existing configuration on the ground floor, and the project was on an extremely fast-track schedule, in addition to being a LEED Platinum certified structure.

RED BULL

Santa Monica, CA

Type: Office Size: 74,000SF

Red Bull North America is the world’s premium energy beverage manufacturer, known for bold, unique marketing campaigns that include film, documentaries, extreme sports, art and music events. The company’s exponential growth and diversification resulted in much needed additional office space in close proximity to their current offices in Santa Monica. Red Bull leased 1630 Stewart St., a 74,000 SF warehouse facility that was originally a brick-making factory, among other things, and they engaged our services to design the MEP for their space. We also played a major role with lease negotiations to ensure that Redbull's requirements, especially in terms of system capacities, are provided as part of the core and shell systems. Prior to Red Bull North America’s occupancy, the building was multi-tenanted and thus divided into smaller suites. The interior was completely demolished to accommodate an open floor plan as well as expand the existing mezzanine for more usable work and meeting room space. Weekly meetings and close communication with the Client were vital to ensure successful execution of the design, which incorporated the existing charm of the building – red brick and steel columns – in a cohesive manner. The new design posed many challenges and required close communication with the City of Santa Monica and various engineering firms to resolve various structural challenges. The first floor design is centered on a main street concept that connects the employee café and barista, reception and informal meeting space and interior gardens, marrying the client’s collaborative nature immediately upon entering the building. However, the jewel of the building is truly the visual center which is comprised of a series of strategically placed floating conference rooms located on the mezzanine level.
