XL Construction has been the preferred tenant improvement partner with Phase 3 in the SF Bay Area…they deliver high quality build-outs with predictable budgets and manage the delivery efficiently and effectively.

Genesis Station was a very complicated and challenging Class A, 385,000 square foot 9 story life science conversion project with forty percent occupancy. From due diligence to completion, Zack, Jimmy and the XL Construction team were extremely knowledgeable of all elements of the design and construction process. This combined with their assertive and proactive team approach made for a great partnership for all involved. When issues or conflicts occurred, XL Construction rose to the occasion with solutions addressing them in an expeditious and detailed manner. This partnership attitude was instrumental for the construction process and made for a successful project that was on budget and on schedule. Working with Zack, Jimmy, the XL team along with their trade partners was a great experience exceeding expectations. We look forward to continuing our successful relationship with XL Construction

Sr. Director, Development, Phase 3

Hi All, I just wanted to recognize Geoff and Bobby for their contribution and specifically making the BAS successful. We have not had much success (from what I hear) on BAS delivery in the recent past. Both Geoff and Bobby were quick to escalate concerns to me back in Q1, what was important is that they escalated with ideas about how to turn the project around in this area. They have shown, with correct leadership, technical skills, and building the right relationship with Siemens they were able to deliver this system nearly flawlessly.

Michael Greening
Head of Project Delivery US, Genentech

Bobby, Thanks for making this project a success, all the GNE team says that they found your effort valuable and the project was well supported. I would like to say that XL as a team did a good job on managing all the MEP/Startup Scopes. The efforts to support Siemens BAS was especially a challenging area and you and the team were instrumental in that effort being successful.

Greg Burg
Senior Project Manager, Genentech

Transforming this facility from vision to reality during the global pandemic required tremendous creativity and dedication from our diverse team. We are thrilled to be recognized as the 2023 FOYA overall winner for our work bringing the next generation of innovative new medicines to patients.

Jeff Davis
Executive Director & Site Head, Genentech

The quality of the team and quality of work is outstanding. Especially with these difficult and complex projects. XL makes it happen.

Dana Aftab
EVP, Business Operations, Exelixis

I sincerely appreciate your team’s effort to produce the best possible result for all areas of construction, factoring in the very real constraints of budget and schedule. Although there are always ways to improve—be it in design or implementation—I never felt that XL didn’t fully exhaust all options in search of the best possible solution. For that, I commend and thank you—it makes the construction process that much better (and enjoyable)!

Mark Fairman
Senior Associate, Gensler

The XL team delivered what we wanted and how we wanted it. They fully aligned with our safety culture. No other general contractor has ever shown this much dedication.

Jane Beaudry
Construction Safety Manager, AstraZeneca

XL was always on-board with using design certainty from the start. The power to be able to see the model and what the building could be before it even happens is very valuable.

Martin Sharpless
Senior Project Director, Intuitive Surgical (formerly with AstraZeneca)
