The Heritage on the Marina expansion project at Rockridge Geotechnical’s 3400 Laguna Street site in San Francisco is slowly moving forward.

A five-story, 192-unit affordable housing complex at Rockridge Geotechnical’s site at 430 Broadway in Oakland was approved in record time because of Oakland’s new local streamlining tool, S-13.
