Tilton Pacific Construction
TPC and Perkins Eastman Create the Ideal Venue for Speedway Motorsports at Sonoma Raceway
General building contractor Tilton Pacific Construction ( TPC ) has recently completed a magnificent venue at Sonoma Raceway for Speedway Motorsports that will act as the track ’ s race-day hospitality center and site of many events . Located at the apex of the track ’ s hairpin Turn 11 , the state-of-the-art facility is the cornerstone of the Sonoma Re-imagined project .
TPC has its roots in the 1980s and its sights focused ahead . Named for Jim Tilton , who founded the company in 1989 and developed a long-term strategy for continued growth , the firm today is headquartered in Rocklin with a regional office in San Jose . In 2012 , Gregg Hall and Harvey Hwang became partners in the business and the company ’ s staff and construction volume have continued to grow ever since . Hall as CEO and Hwang as COO now guide TPC and their 90-plus team members into the future .
The firm takes on commercial projects of all types and sizes in markets including hospitality , automotive , retail , restaurant , entertainment , industrial , education , churches , medical and senior living . Licensed in six western states , TPC annually completes more than $ 120 million in construction volume and has completed $ 1.2 billion in the past 34 years .
TPC broke ground on Sonoma Raceway ’ s Turn 11 in June 2021 and completed the project in less than a year , committed to having the building ready by this year ’ s Toyota / SaveMart 350 , a NASCAR Cup Series event on June 12 . “ To have the building of this high caliber open for its first official event only a year after breaking ground is a monumental accomplishment , especially considering the current construction climate of material delays and staff shortages ,” says Gregoire Zaldua , senior project manager .
Turn 11 offers luxury hospitality during major motorsport races and will be available for corporate and community events throughout the year , providing a significant economic boost for all of Sonoma County . Designed by the architectural firm Perkins Eastman , this spectacular structure is both welcoming and awe-inspiring . This extraordinary 19,000 square-foot hospitality destination has the perfect blend of racing pedigree , market location and amenities . Turn 11 at Sonoma Raceway offers three flexible indoor / outdoor room concepts , making it ideal for enviable viewing experiences during major race weekends , bespoke private events , corporate off-sites and product innovation showcases for up to 1,500 guests . When it ’ s time for more formal brainstorms and presentations , the conference spaces provide the latest audio-visual capabilities along with a sense of relaxed luxury .
