Construction Approach

LT Building Corp is serving as General Contractor for construction of the public transit plaza, managing complex structural, civil, site development, and infrastructure work while coordinating construction around existing site conditions.

The project requires careful planning and execution due to existing underground oil infrastructure, utility conflicts, and the structural connection to the existing Magnolia Street Overpass. LT is coordinating these conditions while constructing two ADA-accessible elevators and extensive hardscape, landscape, fencing, and site improvements to create the connection between the overpass and Metrolink Station.
