Building Excellence:
Meet the Team Behind 40 Main Street
If you’ve walked through Downtown Los Altos recently, you’ve likely noticed a significant change at the corner of Main Street. Our vision for 40 Main is officially rising, reaching new heights every day as we move past the foundational stages and begin our vertical climb.
While the heavy machinery and impressive scale of the site often catch the eye, the true heart of this development isn't the concrete or the steel—it’s the people. Today, we’re pulling back the curtain to introduce the master builders who are on-site daily, ensuring 40 Main Street becomes a landmark of quality: Base Builders.
A Partner with a Proven Track Record
When we began planning 40 Main, we knew the construction partner had to be more than just a contractor. We needed a team that understood the unique architectural fabric of Los Altos and possessed a relentless commitment to excellence.
Based in nearby Campbell, Base Builders is a premier General Contractor with over 25 years of experience in high-end, complex project management. They are experts in navigating the nuances of Bay Area construction, and we are proud to have them leading the way.
Why We Chose Base Builders
Building in a bustling downtown corridor requires a specific set of skills. We chose Base Builders for three key reasons:
- Deep Local Expertise: They aren't just building in Los Altos; they’ve helped shape it. Base Builders recently completed the stunning project at 450 First Street and is currently bringing 5150 El Camino Real to life. They understand the intricacies of our local landscape.
- Precision & Craftsmanship: Their "start-to-finish" approach ensures that every detail—from the complex post-tension cable systems in our slabs to the high-end final interior finishes—is executed with absolute precision.
- A Commitment to the Community: Safety and efficiency are paramount. Base Builders is known for running clean, organized, and safe job sites. This is vital for maintaining the vibrancy and accessibility of Main Street for all our neighbors during construction.
