40 for 40: Pearl's Deluxe Burgers - 2011

The year 2011 was one of significant strides for democracy and equality in the Arab world. The courageous efforts of protestors mobilized with the aid of social media brought historic shifts in this region, which ultimately inspired other areas of the world to question the status quo and advocate for greater social, economic and political justice.
Pearl’s Deluxe Burgers restaurant is located at the corner of Sixth and Market streets, a critical location that is a gateway to the SoMa neighborhood, linking the theater district of the Tenderloin with the dining areas below Market St. The completely transformed 1,882 sq. ft. commercial space, below three levels of residential above, has new dining and cooking areas; new food storage and prep areas; new accessible restrooms and entrance; new retractable awnings and signage; new interior and exterior lighting; new kitchen equipment and finishes; and renovated electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems. In addition to providing full architectural services through Construction Administration, Asian Neighborhood Design also provided renderings, consultant coordination (including structural, commercial kitchen, mechanical and electrical), cost estimates and permit expediting.
Pearl’s was featured on Food Network’s “The Best Thing I Ever Ate” by the Bay Area’s own Tyler Florence! Check them out: www.pearlsdeluxe.com
