COVID-19 RESOURCES: SEE HOW WE'RE KEEPING OUR COMMUNITIES SAFE Navigation SUSTAINABILITY SALESFORCE WEST Tech giant and long-time client Salesforce tapped GCI to build out 50 Fremont (now known as Salesforce West), an iconic building across the street from Salesforce Tower. The project involved 20 full floors of tenant improvements, including open office spaces, dynamic meeting areas, quiet rooms, cafes, and a product testing lab.

View Project NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL (NRDC) The Natural Resources Defense Council’s mission is to safeguard the earth–its people, plants, animals and all of the natural systems on which all life depends. Their sustainable building journey started back in 2003 when GCI worked to help their San Francisco-based headquarters become one of the first law offices in the country to attain the highly sustainable LEED Gold Certification for Commercial Interiors (LEED-CI v2009). And in 2017, we went back, working alongside Gensler Architects to achieve the new and rigorous version of LEED Gold Certification for Commercial Interiors (LEED-CI v4) and more significantly, attain The Living Building Challenge’s 3.1 Petal Certification—one of the most comprehensive deep green building certifications on earth! View Project YOUTUBE 900, 901, 1000 CHERRY ST. YouTube selected GCI to construct their first Cherry Street project at 901 Cherry. It included a renovation of their 2nd floor (75,000 square feet) which achieved LEED-CI Platinum (v2009). A year later, GCI and Huntsman Architectural Group teamed up for the full building renovation of the LEED-CI Gold (v2009) project, 900 Cherry. 1000 Cherry followed shortly thereafter with a full building renovation as well. Subsequent projects have included the renovation of their main event space and Café as well as the Brand Lab Executive Conference room.

For their new San Francisco headquarters, GCI aligned with Mark Horton Architecture and Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects to create one of the first projects in the world to comply with two of the most rigorous environmental building standards. Within the Living Building Challenge, our client’s new office is complying with“Petals” for Materials, Health, Equity, and Beauty.
