More Groundbreaking!
Posted February 6, 2026
More and more projects that have been sitting on the shelf for years are finally coming to fruition. The uptick in construction is evident when looking at the city’s skyline. With eleven cranes popping up and counting, 2026 is looking to be a promising year for the construction industry. The newest project to break ground is the Diego Rivera Performing Arts Center at City College of San Francisco.
Totaling $190 million dollars and 77,000 Square feet, this 3 story Art & Education Center will feature three main performance venues: a 600-seat performance hall, a 150-seat studio theater, and a 100-seat recital hall, along with various spaces for performing, practicing, teaching and studying. The project is covered under the CCSF project labor agreement which ensures the work is done by Union Workers! Local 718 & 913 recently attended the groundbreaking ceremony. Finishing crafts should be on the project by the end of the year.


718 & 913 Reps Trevor Long & Joe Sanders with SF Mayor Daniel Laurie.
