Nibbi Awarded New Family House @ Mission Bay

Nibbi recently was awarded the new Family House @ Mission Bay, a project that has great meaning to us.

In fact, we are so excited about the project, we started a blog to chronicle the entire design, preconstruction and construction process. The blog is called Building Family House, and it can be found here. The architect is Leddy, Maytum, Stacy–with whom we’ve worked on multiple projects, including the award-winning Merritt Crossing in San Francisco, and Madison Apartments in Oakland, among others.

We invite you to check in frequently to learn about the project and its progress!
