Pankow provided preconstruction and construction services for Phase 1B of the Wilshire Boulevard Temple Master Plan.
The project consisted of a partial renovation of the historic 1929 School Building, a complete renovation of the 1962 School Building, rework of a portion of the 1st floor of the 1962 Administration building, and the site work associated with the areas surrounding the two schools.
The new parking structure was constructed concurrently with the school renovations.
The 213,000 SF, 5-and-7-story, Class A office space will be the new home of Splunk Inc.’s headquarters.

The new space will include a Wellness/Fitness Center, rooftop deck, kitchen and food services for employees and guests, as well as co-working and meeting spaces.
The Sea Pines Resort Harbour Town Clubhouse is home to the annual RBC Heritage PGA Tournament. With the dire need to expand and improve upon its existing facilities, Sea Pines selects Choate for the construction of this multi-phase project.
Phase one consists of the expansion and renovation to the existing Halfway House. Provisions are made allowing golf course operations to continue, uninterrupted, during the demolition and construction period. The parking area beneath the Conference Center is converted to transitional golf cart storage and a temporary Pro Shop, Caddy Shack and cart staging area remain in operation as the 2014 RBC PGA Heritage takes place between phase one and phase two of construction.
Phase two includes complete demolition to the existing structure and construction of the larger more luxurious Clubhouse, which is located within the same footprint. The stunning three-story structure houses a golf cart garage and storage, Pro Shop, men’s and women’s locker rooms, restaurant, private dining, toilet rooms, kitchen, back of house operations, and multi-function rooms. The Clubhouse is built within two inches of the existing Conference Center, allowing the Clubhouse kitchen to poke-through to the Conference Center corridors and kitchen, which creates convenient and operational efficiency. The adjacent Conference Center receives an exterior facade renovation to match the Clubhouse.
This project is completed in less than 10 months and prior to the 2015 RBC Heritage PGA Tournament, breaking the PGA’s previous record for the demolition and construction of a clubhouse between tournament dates.

Choate Construction delivers One West Victory featuring 114 student-focused apartment homes striving for LEED certification, a four-level precast parking deck, and the renovation of two late 19th century historic buildings. Constructed yards away from an active railway, these buildings are transformed into a restaurant with a rooftop space and a residential amenity building including a fitness center, leasing office, study hall, and student lounge.
Apartment homes offer residents full kitchens, contemporary granite countertops, and spacious living quarters. Commercial mini-split HVAC systems offer individualized, efficient cooling and heating. The four-story apartment building is constructed of wood frame with a partial first-floor brick facade and three-coat cement plaster system on floors two through four.
The Florence is a top-notch restaurant located in the renovated 19th century Savannah Ice Factory. The transformed building is a light-flooded space with reclaimed marble wall cladding, countertops, and table tops, reclaimed sinker cypress wood bar cladding and standing coffee bar. The cafe has an extensive list of coffee, espresso drinks, and daily selection of house made pastries, while the restaurant side serves the best in locally-sourced Italian fare, including house-made pizzas in an imported Italian wood-fired oven.
The restaurant features exposed wood beam ceilings, reclaimed heart pine floors custom-milled from the building’s original floor and roof beams, back-lit bars featuring craft beers and signature wines, and banquette seating, all highlighting the antique look of the building. An exposed kitchen gives guests a glimpse into the world of the chef as their food is being prepared. For guests wanting to enjoy their meal al fresco, there is roof top dining and “herb garden patio dining.”

Carter’s 275,000-SF space highlights the company’s heritage of quality, innovation, and value on each of its floors.

Major building elements include: aerobics exercise pool, saunas, whirlpool spas, locker room facilities, 15,000-square-foot fitness equipment area, including free weights, laboratory fitness equipment area, with calibrated and specialized fitness equipment for prescribed programs, walking/running track, nutritional kitchen producing take-home prescribed meals, demonstration kitchen, bistro area, 20 clinical exam rooms, two minor procedure rooms, -80 degree freezer farm with alarmed UPS system for tissue storage, blood work laboratory, testing labs, DEXA room, physician and intern offices and conference rooms, and a board room opening out to roof garden for events.
The building’s “L” shape was dictated by the location of the existing Fisher House, short term stay facility for Veterans, at the southwest corner of the site. Our project involved rerouting utilities to and from the Fisher House and being a “good neighbor” by being cognizant of maintaining parking areas and delivery routes to their facility, along with daily start and stop time constraints for construction for noise mitigation.
