The BXP Update

San Francisco Region · Summer Issue 2023

On Wednesday, April 26th, Embarcadero Center hosted its Fourth Annual Wine Walk that featured local wineries and Embarcadero Center retailers.

After purchasing a ticket to this event, attendees received a complimentary charcuterie box from Brie Grazing and were able to sample wines from present wineries and other California wines poured by catering staff. Attendees were able to visit booths hosted by our retailers to learn more about services and products available and enter giveaways for gift cards, free services, and more!

Upon exiting, all attendees were able to take fresh cut tulips home and enter our raffle giveaway for prizes like wine tasting experiences, bottles of wine, and other prizes from participating wineries.

Proceeds totaling $5,675 went to Sonoma County Fire Relief, a nonprofit that is dedicated to helping victims of fires in Sonoma County and to rebuilding Sonoma at no cost to those affected by the fires.

If you missed out on this year’s Wine Walk, be sure to keep an eye out next spring for 2024 tickets to go on sale!

Please join us in wishing him well in his retirement where he’ll enjoy taking rides on his motorcycle or classic pick-up truck and relaxing with his chihuahua.

He is an army veteran and has held many different roles during his tenure at the various buildings, including day shift janitorial lead foreman; many of you would see

COMMUNITY EVENTS BXP has always given back to the community, and this year we are proud to continue the tradition through volunteering, donations, and community events. We continued our relationship with the Boys and Girls Club of San Francisco, supporting their Youth of the Year program which is a five-month long leadership development program for members of the Boys and Girls Club who have distinguished themselves by rising above challenging circumstances.

To further support the youth of San Francisco, members of the marketing team volunteered at United Playaz’s annual book fair. United Playaz is a San Francisco-based violence prevention and youth development organization, and they host a book fair where all students are granted a stipend to purchase their own books. The volunteers assisted students in selecting books and staying within their budget.

The property management team helped support the local community by volunteering at APA Family Support Services (APAFSS) Annual Family Day at the Tenderloin Rec Center. The event included authentic food, multicultural performances, health information, and tons of interactive activities including a petting zoo, games, and

crafts for children of all ages. Community organizations were also onsite to share important community resources. BXP team members volunteered to help run the games and crafts, so the children could enjoy the day. This allowed the team to interact with community members in a meaningful way.

We led efforts with other local supporters to bring back the “Officer of the Month” program and recognize San Francisco Police Officers who go above and beyond on duty. In addition, the BXP team showed up for St. Anthony’s 45th Annual Penny Pitch event where the team threw pennies to raise money in a game similar to bocce. BXP’s donation and participation contributed to over $125,000 raised that will help St. Anthony’s provide services for those experiencing homelessness and poverty in the community.

At BXP, we believe it’s important to give back to the community, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to work with so many wonderful organizations.

EARTH DAY In celebration of Earth Day, BXP provided complimentary fruit to clients at Embarcadero Center, Salesforce Tower, 680/690 Folsom, and 535 Mission. 4,500 bananas and 800 apples were distributed amongst the properties, and clients were super excited about the healthy giveaway!

In the South Bay, BXP provided complimentary succulents to clients at 2440 W El Camino Real.

Clients were encouraged to get outside, enjoy the sun, and replant their succulents in their backyard.

CPR & AED Certification Training Make CPR & AED training a part of your wellness program. Each year, as many as 400,000 Americans go into cardiac arrest. This is why it is especially important to learn these lifesaving skills.

Life is too important not to be prepared.

BXP has scheduled classes on August 17th, September 26th, and October 4th, from 8:00am to 12:00pm or 1:00PM to 5:00PM located in 4EC on Promenade Level.

SOMA Updates

(680/690 Folsom, 535 Mission, 50 Hawthorne) 2023 has been quite the year so far! With the ongoing conventions at the Moscone Center, the Farmers Markets, and the Block Party that was hosted by The East Cut CBD – exciting things are happening in the area.

At the beginning of this year, BXP engaged Tipping Structural Engineers as our engineering firm on record for the Building Occupancy Resumption Program (BORP). If you are interested in learning more about how BXP plans ahead for earthquakes, or how you can better prepare, please contact your Property Management team. They will connect you to the right resources.

In celebration of Earth Day, we hope you were able to pick up a banana or two and sign up for any e-waste removal, coordinated through Green Citizen.

Sustainability is always at the forefront of building operations at BXP, and responsibly removing e-waste is one way to support our commitment to sustainability.

Please be on the look out for another e-waste pick up later this year.

We love seeing our clients in the buildings! We hope you have been able to enjoy the surrounding areas like grabbing a bite to eat at AFICI’s, catching a round of ping pong at SPiN, or getting your healthcare on at One Medical. We also have some exciting events that are happening later this year, and we hope to meet as many of you in person as we can!

Embarcadero Center Annual Relocation Drills Thank you for participating in our One-Four Embarcadero Center relocation drills. Not only are these drills required per San Francisco Fire Code, but practicing for emergencies is important in each business’s emergency preparedness plan.

Outdoor Yoga

North First Business Park

Lunchtime yoga is coming to Embarcadero Center!

In each yoga session, clients are immersed in the serene experience of music and guidance through headphones. The headphones make it easy for clients to stay present and follow the instructor as they take you through a 45-minute yoga flow.

The outdoor yoga sessions take place at Three Embarcadero Center on Promenade Level. For more information about scheduling, look out for an email from the BXP Property Management team to sign up!

BXP partnered with Jensen Landscape to reuse 80 yards of wood chips at North First Business Park. Wood chips are cut up pieces of tree branches and trunks that are the byproduct of pruning and tree removal. If they are not reused, they frequently end up at the landfill. They are great for providing another layer of coverage for weed suppression and water retention. Repurposing wood chips also help improve the health of trees.

BXP/ABM Engineering Updates One Embarcadero Center is excited to welcome Nick Regnart as the new Chief Engineer! Nick began his career in 2014 as a utility and then apprentice engineer at Four Embarcadero. He moved on to journeyman and spent some time at 680/690 Folsom before returning to Embarcadero Center in 2019 as the 4EC Assistant Chief. Nick has been a proven leader and has been essential to the success of the engineering teams at Embarcadero Center.

Nick’s move to 1EC opened the Assistant Chief Engineer spot at 4EC and Austin Dyer was promoted from journeyman engineer. Austin joined the BXP/ABM Engineering team at Two Embarcadero Center in March 2021 as a Stationary Engineer.

Austin received his BS in Marine Engineering from the California Maritime Academy, CSU in 2017 and is currently enrolled in a Master of Science program in Transportation and Engineering Management from the California Maritime Academy, CSU with an anticipated Spring 2024 completion. We are excited for Austin with his promotion to Assistant Chief Engineer and know that he will continue to learn, grow, and thrive in his new role and in the fastpaced building operations at Four Embarcadero Center.

Salesforce Tower Towertop Art Standing tall, as the largest building in the San Francisco skyline, Salesforce Tower is hard to miss, but if that wasn’t enough to draw attention, the permanent art Photo: @ayetahzee (Instagram) installation at the top, created by San Francisco based artist Jim Campbell is sure to get the job done. The installation is intertwined around the crown of the tower, where it rises 150 feet above the last occupied floor. This installation can be seen from miles away, even in parts of East Bay. Campbell is known as a trailblazer in computer technology as an artform, and his installation at the top of Salesforce Tower showcases how data and design can come together to create something uniquely beautiful.

The installation at Salesforce Tower is called “Day For Night” and consists of 11,000 individual LED lights that

In addition to his ongoing LED art, Campbell also uses the installation to help the city of San Francisco and its residents celebrate special events. From Pride, to national holidays, to sports championships, Photo: @picturehappyphotos (Instagram) the installation at Salesforce Tower is always there to help the city celebrate! Next time you are in the city after dark, keep an eye to the skies and see this amazing installation at work.

Salesforce Tower Updates Just before the holidays, Salesforce Tower hosted the NAREIT Conference which included a very engaging panel discussion, headlined by San Francisco’s newly elected District Attorney, Brooke Jenkins. This turned out to be the kickoff of a very busy first half of 2023 at “The Tower.”

Salesforce Tower has seen a steady rise in building population, and with the return of our office employees came the return of events and the celebrities and VIPs that attend them.

Last year, we hosted the Queen of the Netherlands, Queen Máxima, and this year our highest profile guest (so far) has been Former President Barack Obama, who stopped by in March for a visit to the Ohana Floor. President Obama was a true gentleman and could not have been more gracious to every person he came across while visiting Salesforce Tower.

In April, BXP led the effort to bring back Police Officer of the Month, partnering with several other business entities like JP Morgan Chase, The Park Hotel Group,

Hearst Corporation, BOMA, Union Square Alliance, Prologis, and others to express our support for law enforcement. The effort, which will be ongoing, culminated with a ceremony at The Mayor’s Office where the awardees were recognized by Mayor London Breed and President of the Board of Supervisors, Aaron Peskin.

With so much activity, even San Francisco’s most iconic building needs a break here and there. In June, we performed our first “5-year electrical shutdown”— a huge task for a 1.4 million square foot building! Nonetheless, the entire Salesforce Tower team was more than up to the task and sailed through the shutdown without an issue. Many thanks to all those responsible for the effort— best team ever!

As we move into the second half of the year, we’ll be preparing for Dreamforce, which is expected to come back full-swing and even larger than before! We’re also excited to host our annual Fleet Week event, where BXP invites armed services guests up on the roof to watch the Blue Angles in October. We’ll be closing out the year with our city-recognized holiday décor and what we believe will be another winning Outstanding Building of the Year award (TOBY)!
