Video of walls being tilted at a commercial building at Douglas Park in Long Beach California.

Commercial building tilt-up walls are a type of construction technique commonly used in the construction of large, commercial and industrial buildings. In this technique, the walls of the building are constructed on site, but instead of being built up from the ground, they are built flat on the ground and then tilted up into position.

The walls are typically made of reinforced concrete and are cast in large panels that are then lifted into place using cranes. This process can be completed relatively quickly and efficiently, and is often preferred for large commercial and industrial buildings because it allows for the construction of large, open spaces without the need for traditional load-bearing walls.

One of the primary benefits of tilt-up construction is speed. Because the walls are prefabricated offsite and then simply tilted into place, the overall construction process can be completed much faster than traditional construction methods. Additionally, because the walls are made of reinforced concrete, they are very strong and durable, making them an ideal choice for buildings that need to withstand harsh weather conditions or other extreme environments.

Another benefit of tilt-up construction is cost. Because the walls are constructed offsite and then lifted into place, there is less need for expensive equipment and materials on site, which can help to reduce overall construction costs.

Finally, tilt-up construction can also be an aesthetically pleasing option for commercial and industrial buildings. The panels can be designed to include a variety of architectural details, textures, and colors, giving the building a unique and visually appealing look.

Overall, tilt-up construction is a popular choice for commercial and industrial buildings because it is efficient, cost-effective, and durable.

The proposed legislation could require lessors to defer CA rent obligations for a year or longer and allow tenants to negate the lease and walk away with no responsibilities for tenant improvements.

A California Commercial Real Estate Legislative alert went out last Friday from AIR about SB 939, a COVID-19 related measure.

The proposed legislation could require lessors to defer CA rent obligations for more than a year or allow the tenant to negate the lease and walk away with no responsibilities for tenant improvements.

If passed the measure would be in effect for 22 months from March 2020 or for two months after the end of the state of emergency, whichever is later.

As mentioned in the notice the proposal mysteriously (or as they say unfairly) doesn’t apply to any publicly traded companies or one that is owned or affiliated with a publicly traded company (franchisee).

Included in the notice are better potential options like the proposal put forth by Toni Atkins.
