Team DGA has kicked off our Baja Challenge 2024 fundraising campaign, and we’d love your support! The Baja Challenge is a highly esteemed annual event in which Team DGA joins with Project Mercy and a group of other volunteers from real estate related companies in San Diego to work together to build homes for destitute families in Tecate, Mexico. This work drastically improves the living conditions for dozens of families each year. The home we build this year will benefit the Vargas Hernández family of three, who are currently expecting a new baby. They look forward to their new home, sharing that, “Receiving a house from you would be a dream come true because we would be more comfortable and safe. Thank you very much for the support you are giving us…” Team DGA will be constructing the home on Saturday, October 5th, and we need YOUR help! We do the building — your contribution goes toward the building materials for us to get the job done. We appreciate any amount you are willing to donate for this great cause.

Looking forward to this event in San Diego! Will we see you there?

This year, DGA said a bittersweet farewell to our dear friend and colleague, Cheryl Rankin, as she began her retirement. Cheryl’s contribution to making DGA what it is today has been monumental – much of our success can be credited to her dedication and innovation in building our firm’s systems and processes from the ground up. We gathered together to celebrate Cheryl’s retirement as well as the many years she gave to DGA, sharing memories, stories, and a few tears. It was just one small expression of how we celebrate all that Cheryl has given to DGA. Cheryl, we have so many fond memories working alongside you. Congratulations on this joyous milestone! It’s hard to say goodbye, however, we wish you all the best and hope you enjoy every moment of your retirement.

Here's to a fun happy hour connecting with our colleagues from Hathaway Dinwiddie last month! We had a great time hosting in our San Francisco office and look forward to building more projects together. #dga_SF

DGA appreciates opportunities to design amenities alongside work spaces for every market we work in – be it science and tech labs, offices, manufacturing, mission critical, academic, or healthcare. These amenity spaces increase health and wellbeing by allowing tenants to tend to self-care: #TakeAMentalHealthMoment away from their work, socialize, engage in physical activity, relieve stress and fatigue, and even give peace of mind that their children are being cared for moments away.

Making rapid progress, we are excited that our project in Carlsbad with Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Oxford Properties Group Topped Out last month! The project is an expansion of Ionis Pharmaceuticals’ 400,000 SF campus with a three-level, 165,000 SF lab and office building. Photos show the Topping Out ceremony in April 2024 as well as the DGA Team at the groundbreaking milestone that took place in December 2023. BNBuilders #dga_science #dga_architecture #toppingout
