Rebuilding LA: Steel Frame Construction on the Rise Amid Push to Fireproof Homes

The Hoyt Organization

MAY 1, 2025 – In the aftermath of January’s wildfires that swept through 40,000 acres causing $250 billion in local economic damage, destroying more than 16,000 structures and affecting thousands more, builders and city officials, alike, are analyzing construction practices to incorporate materials that won’t burn. At the top of the list? Steel frame construction. Steel has emerged as the primary option for homebuilders who need to adhere to new standards in wildfire zones and keep insurance costs at bay for those who will ultimately live there. The steel-framing industry, itself, is projected to grow to more than $58 billion by 2033, up from $35 billion in 2023, according to Spherical Insights. “This year’s fires were a heartbreaking tragedy on a horrific scale, and sadly much of damage could have been contained if it weren’t for the overuse of wood and drywall that are so quick to ignite when impacted by flying embers,” said Scott Acton, CEO of Forté Specialty Contractors, a seasoned design-build veteran whose unique expertise combines residential projects with high-profile hospitality and theme park developments that must adhere to stringent fire safety standards. Acton advocates for more steel-frame home designs, which are much more durable in the event of a natural disaster or the wildfires that are occurring at an alarmingly regular place in California. The losses incurred have gotten so catastrophic that the insurance premiums moving forward will likely soar at a rate that will displace many Californians and exacerbate the state’s affordability crisis. “Due to its resilience and durability, steel home construction has been growing in popularity for the luxury markets along the coast, but it is quickly becoming the preferred option for developers of all housing types because traditional building practices have gotten so dangerous and costly,” Acton said. “Developers of multifamily housing are increasingly specifying steel framing to accelerate build times, simplify quality control and deliver fire-resistant buildings that meet the demands of urban living. Along with the protection from fire, steel frame houses are also less susceptible to damage from earthquakes, high winds or flooding.” Steel-frame homes are also less likely to be infested with pests, termites and mold compared to wood. They are faster to assemble because the steel is often pre-fabricated off-site, which reduces on-site labor time. Plus, steel is highly recyclable, making it a more environmentally friendly choice compared to wood, which requires deforestation for production. In addition to pest resistance, speed to market, and recyclability, building with steel framing also delivers substantial saving on insurance. Recognizing steel as non-combustible, insurers can offer premium discounts of up to 75 percent on builder’s risk policies, according to the Steel Framing Industry Association. These average savings reflect steel’s superior fire resistance and loss history, translating into more predictable underwriting and lower overall risk costs throughout both construction and occupancy. The strength and integrity of steel creates more room for designer creativity as well. Despite steel’s relative material cost being higher than lumber, Acton notes that this is a huge value-add in luxury markets such as Malibu and the Palisades, where wider interior spaces and higher ceilings are in demand.

Rising Water Tables in the Southern U.S. Spotlight Need for Sustainable, Waterproof Concrete Solutions

The Hoyt Organization

May 1, 2025 - With rising water tables and an uptick in extreme weather events across the Southern United States, engineers, builders, and municipalities are turning to Smart Concrete as a long-term, sustainable solution to fortify critical infrastructure against flood risks, abrasion, corrosion and climate-related damage. Recent studies have shown that groundwater levels across states like Louisiana, Texas, Florida, and Georgia are increasing due to a combination of sea level rise, heavy rainfall patterns, and overburdened drainage systems. Consequently, there are higher likelihoods of flooding not just along coasts, but inland as well, putting foundations, stormwater systems, and essential infrastructure at increasing risk of failure. According to First Street’s 2025 National Risk Assessment, which projects a nearly $1.5 trillion dollar drop in property values from climate-related migration patterns, the nation’s most risky markets for climate-related property loss are all in Texas, including the metropolitan areas of Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin and Houston – all of which have experienced recent population surges amid increasing insurance costs associated with extreme weather. Smaller markets have been less resilient to these economic and environmental threats. For instance, in Jefferson County, Ala., the damage has already been done, triggering a 9.4 percent spike in climate-related insurance costs and a subsequent 25 percent plunge in population, the report found. Key infrastructure such as highways, airports and large-capacity garages are increasingly vulnerable to water-related corrosion in the South and that durable concrete is a viable long-term solution to those challenges, according to Patrick Kelly, Territory Manager – Central U.S. for Kryton International, a leading manufacturer of high-performance concrete. “It’s largely a threat from below,” Kelly said of the South’s rising water tables and increasing flood risks. “Traditional concrete structures can deteriorate rapidly when exposed to persistent water pressure, freeze-thaw cycles, and chemical ingress. Our waterproof concrete technology is designed to combat these exact challenges while reducing the need for costly maintenance and repair.” Waterproof Concrete: A Sustainable Advantage Unlike surface coatings or short-term sealants, waterproof concrete is engineered at the mix level with crystalline admixtures that resist moisture intrusion from the inside out. When compared to traditional concrete, this internal waterproofing not only prolongs structural life but also contributes to sustainability goals by: Reducing carbon-generating material waste from repairs and replacements Improving lifecycle performance with lower initial carbon footprint Enhancing climate resilience in transportation, utility, and commercial infrastructure Waterproof concrete is increasingly being adopted in: Underground parking structures and basements Tunnels, culverts, and stormwater management systems Coastal and low-lying public works projects High-performance industrial facilities in flood-prone regions “With even more extreme weather on the horizon, future-ready construction starts with resilient materials,” said Kryton International’s Vice President for Product Development, Kevin Yuers. “Waterproof concrete isn’t just a product — it’s a strategy for climate adaptation.” ABOUT KRYTON Kryton International Inc. is the inventor of the crystalline waterproofing admixture and has been waterproofing concrete structures with its proprietary KrystolÂ® technology since 1973.

Spring Bird Delivers Transit Buses to MTR for Use in Major Construction Shuttle Operations

Spring Bird

Spring Bird has delivered six heavy-duty New Flyer D40LF transit buses to MTR, providing dedicated shuttle support for a large-scale semiconductor fabrication plant construction site. The buses will be used to safely and efficiently transport construction workers across the expansive site, reflecting the growing demand for durable, high-capacity shuttle solutions in complex infrastructure projects. The multi-bus order, fulfilled over the past year through several transactions, underscores Spring Bird’s rising role as a trusted supplier of transit buses for industrial and operational shuttle services. According to Spring Bird founder Elliott Carson, the deal came together due to “competitive pricing, fast turnaround, and strong warranty support,” all of which aligned with MTR’s high standards and tight project timelines. “This partnership with MTR is a great example of what happens when two teams are aligned in purpose and professionalism,” said Carson. “MTR had a clear vision, high standards, and a fast-moving project — and we were proud to meet that challenge. Supporting their shuttle operations with dependable, work-ready transit buses is exactly what Spring Bird is built to do.” The buses underwent standard make-ready servicing and were delivered ready for immediate deployment. While not retrofitted with low-emission or advanced telematics systems in this case, the New Flyer D40LF platform offers reliable performance, ample standing room, and durability that outperforms most traditional coach or cutaway vehicles under demanding, repetitive shuttle conditions. “Transit buses are built for this kind of work,” said Thomas Hoskins, Director of Operations at Spring Bird. “You’re moving large numbers of people, constantly, in stop-and-go patterns, sometimes on rough or temporary roads. These vehicles are designed for all-day, every-day use. They can load quickly, handle tough environments, and just keep going.” Spring Bird’s Construction Shuttle Service program highlights several key benefits of using heavy-duty transit buses in worksite transportation: Dual-door boarding allows faster loading and unloading compared to coach buses or vans. Low-floor designs increase accessibility and reduce boarding times. Higher standing capacity allows more flexible loading based on shift schedules. Cost-efficiency comes from needing fewer buses and drivers to move more people in less time. For MTR, choosing Spring Bird also meant working with a team that understands the complexity of operational logistics. “We’re proud to support partners like MTR who are helping to build the future—literally,” said Carson. “Whether it’s a long-term city transit solution or a short-term industrial project, our goal is always the same: safe, smart, dependable transportation.” The deal also adds another chapter to the Carson family’s eight-decade history in the transit industry. Spring Bird, founded by Elliott Carson in 2020, is built on a legacy that dates back to 1943 when Dean Carson began providing local transit in Los Angeles. Today, that commitment to innovation, service, and reliability lives on in Spring Bird’s growing footprint across public and private transportation sectors. About Spring Bird Spring Bird is a premier provider of transportation solutions, specializing in the sale, leasing, and service of heavy-duty transit buses and motor coaches. Drawing from the rich Carson family legacy in the transportation industry, Spring Bird offers an inventory of high-quality buses from leading manufacturers and provides customized rehabilitation services, including minor repairs, major overhauls, and technological retrofitting. Dedicated to safety, innovation, and customer satisfaction, Spring Bird addresses the unique needs of cities, transit agencies, and private operators, ensuring reliable and efficient transportation solutions.

Van Ness Corridor Emerges as San Francisco’s Premier Medical Destination

The Hoyt Organization

The Van Ness corridor has become one of San Francisco’s most dynamic medical and healthcare destination, anchored by the world-class Sutter Health’s California Pacific Medical Center and supported by an expanding ecosystem of medical office spaces and care providers. A highlight of this transformation is the 45,000 square feet of premium medical office space currently available at 939 Ellis St., making it the largest contiguous medical space on the market in San Francisco today. Strategically located just steps away from Sutter’s Van Ness campus, 939 Ellis offers an unparalleled opportunity for medical groups, specialty clinics, and healthcare innovators looking to establish a presence in the city’s fastest-growing healthcare hub. Ellis’ central location provides convenience for patients commuting from East Bay, the Peninsula, and Marin County. Connectivity to the Van Ness Corridor has never been better with the 2022 launch of the Van Ness Bus Rapid Transit, a 1.96-mile route running north-south featuring dedicated center bus lanes and nine stations. “The synergy between the neighborhood’s thriving healthcare community and access to transportation is reshaping the Van Ness corridor into a one-stop destination for high-quality patient care,” said Kurt Hackett, Vice President of Asset Management with Rethink Healthcare Real Estate, a private investment group that owns 939 Ellis St. “Whether it’s primary care, outpatient specialties, diagnostics, or wellness services, everything patients and providers need is increasingly concentrated in this central, transit oriented neighborhood.” The building, which is already about half occupied by Kaiser Permanente, comes to market amid a notable resurgence in San Francisco’s economy as the city positions itself for a boom in AI investments. The increase in business is being further fueled by the return-to-office trend and a growing belief that San Francisco is on the right track, according to recent surveys. Recently elected Mayor Daniel Lurie has spearheaded many new efforts that are working to bring businesses and visitors back to the world class downtown. As demand for centrally located, modern medical space continues to rise, the Van Ness corridor stands out as a focus for San Francisco’s healthcare future. “We could not be more bullish on this location,” said Jonathan Winer, President of Rethink Healthcare Real Estate. “Not only is San Francisco’s reemergence as a hotbed of business activity a catalyst for those looking to treat patients locally, but the ease of transit has made the Van Ness Corridor a convenient destination for doctors and patients, alike, who are coming from the outskirts of the city or the suburbs.” 939 Ellis St. offers flexible, build-ready medical office suites that can accommodate a range of specialties. It boasts a scenic rooftop terrace and available parking. For leasing inquiries at 939 Ellis St., contact Trask Leonard, president and CEO of Bayside Realty Partners at tleonard@baysiderp.com or Caroline Doyle, senior vice president of Bayside Realty Partners, at cdoyle@baysiderp.com.
