Diablo Park – 25375 Clawiter Road
Design-Build: Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Fire Suppression
Schedule
Demo start: November – December 2024
Grading start: February 2025
Site: The project site is located at 25375 Clawiter Road at the northwest corner of Clawiter Road and Diablo Avenue, in the City of Hayward, California. The site totals 4.3 acres and is currently developed with two existing buildings. Both buildings will be demolished and to the extent possible, recycled.
Building: The building will be of Type II-B construction consisting primarily of site cast, tilted concrete panels with a variety of architectural enhancements. The oblique parapet angles and rough sawn wood plank form liners applied to this tilt-up concrete facade endow the project with a modern look that reinforces the project’s extensive and lofty sustainable goals. Linear lighting fixtures attached to vertical wood beams, add warmth and further enhance the street facing facades. Across all building faces, a halftone gradient dot mural elegantly transitions from a steel blue to a deep charcoal tone providing another layer of visual interest and subtle complexity. To further differential the project from its neighbors, and to celebrate the sustainability measures incorporated into the project, a substantial living wall punctuates and celebrates the building’s primary southeast corner. The welcoming entry, generous use of glass, and verdant landscaping will surely appeal to potential tenants looking for an attractive, modern and high-performance industrial building to call their home. The considered application of these elements and architectural enhancements fuse to create an exterior aesthetic that is surprisingly human-centric in its allure and architectural appeal.
