Millie and Severson is so pleased to support our friend Bill Goltermann of REDA (Real Estate Development Associates) LLC as he rides in his 11th annual Bike MS, proceeds from which benefit the National MS Society. This year the ride took on a different feel, but the commitment to support those living with multiple sclerosis remains as strong as ever.
We’re excited to be a part of California State University - East Bay’s 9th Annual Construction Management Job Fair. It’s virtual this year, like most things, but that won’t stop us from describing the benefits and opportunities of an internship with Millie and Severson.
We’ve been busy working on the expansion to Skechers’ Moreno Valley facility, lifting 52’ high panels to construct the new 767,455 SF warehouse and distribution building. With 31,189 cubic yards of concrete, 1,550 tons of rebar, 1,200 tons of steel and an army of 80-150 tradespeople a day, the structure went vertical over the course of the last 10 days. Each panel weighed in at approx. 197,600 to the heaviest at 378,900 lbs. – so heavy we had to bring in a special crane from Texas to lift them.
Millie and Severson is proud to sponsor the AIA Healthcare Conference which is being held virtually October 14-16, 2020. As one of the leaders in the healthcare CRE industry, we love supporting the practitioners who bring it all to life.

Millie and Severson is delighted to introduce our Northern California leadership team. With the retirement of Bob Wissmann, who served as the Northern California Division President for the last three years, Brian Andrew takes the reins as new Division President for the region. Brian most recently served as Vice President of the division and was one of the original Millie and Severson employees who founded the division five years ago. Brian has overseen all project operations for every Northern California project we’ve built. He has been instrumental in guiding the division’s successful growth to the completion of nearly half a billion dollars of work on behalf of our clients and helping to build a team of more than 30 professionals.
Rounding out the leadership team are Mike Jones, Vice President of Operations; David Bayliss, Sr. Director of Client and Project Development; Matt Parkins, Chief Estimator; and Randy Stuart, General Superintendent. This team will continue to foster a collaborative company culture that attracts fellow professionals dedicated to excellence and exceeding client expectations. They will build on the successful foundation laid over the last five years to execute our strategic growth plans and serve clients across the industrial, healthcare, office, education, hospitality and senior living sectors.
With a combined 150+ years of construction experience, the NorCal leadership team is poised to continue our successful track record of delivering high quality, timely and cost effective projects on behalf of our valued clients.
After more than 30 years with Millie and Severson, Bob Wissmann, Division President of our Northern California region, has retired. To many in the industry, Bob is synonymous with the company, having been the primary point of contact for so many clients, architects, brokers and other collaborators throughout his tenure. He joined the Millie and Severson team in 1990, and his leadership has been integral to our success
and growth.
Bob is the epitome of a construction professional with a true dedication to his clients and colleagues. Having worked on a variety of projects in the industrial, institutional, healthcare and commercial sectors, Bob has been involved in the construction of more than 30 million square feet of product over the last three decades. He is also valued for his mentorship to so many employees over the years.
“Bob is one of the finest, most knowledgeable and trusted construction professionals I’ve ever known,” noted Jon Severson, Chairman of Millie and Severson. “When he joined us all those years ago, I knew immediately that he was going to bring tremendous success to all of his efforts. He has never let us down.” In addition to his reputation as one of the most trusted names in the CRE industry, Bob is also deeply involved in his community. He has been a lay leader at his church and is looking forward to spending more time on ministry and with his family.
All of us at Millie and Severson will miss him terribly but are honored to have had him as part of our lives for so many years. Best wishes for continued success, Bob!

Cedars-Sinai is a world-renowned healthcare system serving the diverse Los Angeles community across its growing campus. When they decided to relocate the existing HLA, Cytogenics, Molecular Pathology and Transplantation Immunology laboratories to a new standalone building, they needed a sophisticated project team to develop the state-of-the-art space for these specialty groups.
The building they selected was recently built and available for lease. Its proximity to the rest of the Cedars-Sinai campus made it an ideal location. It consists of a 3-story structure over 3 levels of underground parking and comprises 32,979 sf.
The first floor is parking valet, accessible parking and building support. Levels 2 and 3 are fit out as laboratories. The majority of the mechanical equipment is located on the roof. Level 2 was built out to relocate clinical laboratory spaces - Transplantation Immunology Lab (TIL) and Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Labs – from the main campus. The Specialty Contract and CLIA laboratory occupy the 3rd floor.
