Please be advised – Plant Construction Company, L.P. will be performing concrete demolition and hot-fluid waterproofing work at the Japantown Peace Plaza (1610 Geary Blvd.) on the following dates:
- August 19-22, 2024
- August 27-30, 2024
Work will be performed during the hours of 3:30 AM and 8:30 AM to minimize the disruption of operations at Japan Center Malls.
There will be a high level of noise due to the use of concrete demolition equipment. Our Team will adopt sound mitigation measures to reduce the noise levels during demolition with the use of “Noise Reduction Barrier” blankets (STC 33) around the perimeter of the work area.
In addition, scaffolding will be installed around the pagoda in September and remain through the middle of next year. To prepare for the scaffolding on the plaza, the contractor will be installing supports directly beneath the scaffolding on both the garage lower and upper levels in late August. The affected area is located south of the ramp nearest to Geary Boulevard. Approximately 60 total parking spots will be blocked for both the supports and temporary driving lanes. For your safety, please follow all posted signage, including posted detours.
Remember! Japan Center Malls remain open throughout the construction duration. Please be aware of the following pedestrian detours:
- Access from Geary Boulevard – Detour to both East Mall and West Mall through the Geary Boulevard parking garage
- Access from Post Street – Enter through existing fenced paths near the buildings to East Mall and West Mall
- SIDEWALK CLOSED on the north side of Geary Boulevard from Laguna Street to Buchanan Street (mid-block crosswalk).
Feel free to reach out with any questions.
