Genesis Marina

Located at the former Sierra Point Landfill, Genesis Marina provides 784,000 SF of laboratory and Class A office space for the science and biotech community. The development consists of three five-story buildings atop a two-story podium garage, as well as a shared outdoor space overlooking the San Francisco Bay. One part of the San Francisco Bay, the site was progressively filled between about 1963 and 1975. Langan evaluated the potential for long-term settlement of refuse and bay mud to occur at the site and developed a Post Closure Development Plan to comply with state landfill regulations, which was approved by the San Mateo County Environmental Health Department Local Enforcement Agency and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. During construction, we observed site preparation and grading, refuse relocation, compaction of fill and backfill, clay cap construction and repair, pile installation, utility trench backfill, and subgrade preparation for pavements and hardscape.
