Best of Retail 2006 - Safeway #2718
Midstate Construction recently completed a new 44,685
square foot Safeway and the necessary site work within Strawberry Village,
Mill Valley. Midstate's scope of work included demolition of the existing
32,000 square foot Safeway and construction of the new store. Located
in Mill Valley, fifteen minutes north of San Francisco, the entire project
caters toward the high end market it serves. The store's interior features
the Safeway lifestyle package and the exterior facade matches the newly
renovated Strawberry Village. As the largest retail tenant in the retail
center, the exterior is broken into varying heights and extrusions,
to simulate a smaller footprint and balance the other half of the center
which is comprised of smaller shops. Midstate and Safeway worked together
as a team to ensure a grand opening seven months after demolition of
the original store, a new record for Safeway. Marking a continued successful
53 year relationship between Midstate and Safeway.

Mercy
Family Plaza
San Francisco, California - The Plaza is an adaptive reuse of four
historical 1910 buildings of the former Southern Pacific Hospital, at
one time San Francisco's largest medical complex. The abandoned buildings
were successfully rehabilitated and transformed a part of the hospital
complex into thirty-six low income family housing. Building exteriors
were preserved intact. Historical features deemed important to preserve
were cornices, parapets, and the placement and type of windows, doors
and porticoes. Tall arched windows flank the arched, paneled, wooden
entry doors on the main façade. The project buildings are all of monumental,
neo-classical scale and style. Winner of the National Trust for Historic
