Plaza surfaces have more waterproofing (see all those stripes on the plaza slab and reinforcements) and planter concrete foundations are being formed to pour concrete walls next month.
Construction Highlights:
Plaza/Pagoda Work:
- Waterproofing work continues on the concrete slabs near Post Street East Mall and around all the steel reinforcements.
- Concrete foundation form work has begun around the pagoda planters.
Garage Work:
- Night work in the garage (10:30 to 7AM) continues from mid through end of March. This quiet work consists of removing paint in preparation for the installation of new beams.
- Scanning the concrete to identify all reinforcements on the ceiling continues in preparation for necessary coring in the next few months.
- Scaffolding remains in both upper and lower garage levels (approximately 60 parking spots) and vehicle ramp through mid-2025. Drive cautiously and follow posted detours signs on both upper and lower levels. Please do not walk on the ramp between levels.
Access to and throughout Japan Center Malls and Garage:
- Access from Geary Boulevard: Use the Geary Boulevard parking garage to access both East Mall and West Mall.
- Access from Post Street: Use the new posted detours into East Mall adjacent to U.S. Bank and to West Malls through the middle of construction entrance.
- Sidewalk: Accessible pedestrian detour is open along the north side of Geary between Laguna to Buchanan Streets. For safety, follow all detours, stay within fenced pedestrian detour lane, and avoid walking in the bus lanes.
