Join ULI San Francisco for an exclusive, hard hat tour of the nation’s first net zero energy and mass timber civic building, County Office Building 3 (COB3), now being constructed by the County of San Mateo’s Project Development Unit. With its structural design that uses cross-laminated timber to reduce embodied carbon, COB3 will stand as a testament to San Mateo County’s environmental stewardship. The project is located in the heart of Downtown Redwood City and will feature ample outdoor areas, like the promenade grove and two plazas, and the space can be easily repurposed for outdoor meeting and working.
This highly sustainable mass timber construction project was designed by Skidmore Owings & Merrill and is being constructed by Truebeck Construction and managed by COBALT. Gain a 360 view of the project by hearing from a county representative, the team of architects, the construction team, and the managing partner, and learn how this project is coming to life, setting the standard for civic buildings of the future.
