Turner Construction Company, a North America–based, international construction services company, has selected a design-build partnership with the State of California Department of General Services and AC Martin to deliver a 20-story office tower in Sacramento.
The development will be the new home for more than 3,500 employees across a number of state agencies, including the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Water Resources, the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, and the Wildlife Conservation Board.
“At approximately 838,000 square feet, the $520 million headquarters building for the Department of Natural Resources will offer much-needed technical and collaboration space for the critical government functions that protect California’s environment and natural resources,” said Grant Griffanti, Turner Project executive.
In addition to construction of a tower that features 10,000 square feet of retail and public space, an auditorium with 300 seats, a multi-vendor food court, and a pedestrian plaza, the project includes exterior improvements to the nearby, historic Heilbron House, as well as ground-up construction of a childcare facility, which will serve approximately 120 children.
The building is designed to meet net-zero energy standards and will seek a LEED Platinum certification. Construction is expected to begin this fall, with completion scheduled for summer of 2021.
Turner and AC Martin have a 45-year history of working together in California, having completed 12 projects together, including the headquarters for Caltrans District 3, the Cal EPA headquarters; an office building for the University of California Davis Medical Center; California State University’s Stanislaus Union Renovation & Addition; and the Wilshire Grand Center in Los Angeles.
