Sunseri built Mars Inc.’s first cacao research laboratory in California, including a modern wet lab to support climate-resistant plant development. The space also features collaborative offices with glass partitions and meeting areas — showcasing our ability to integrate science and workspace in one environment.
Our team has completed multiple fermentation labs for ADM, including custom-built fermentation stations, autoclaves, and steam generation systems. Current work includes installing backup generation systems, underscoring our long-term commitment and deep understanding of their research infrastructure.
Built on a compressed 7-month schedule, this state-of-the-art research facility includes labs, donor processing spaces, and support infrastructure. Our decades-long relationship with Vitalant (formerly BloodSource) speaks to our reputation for delivering on time and with precision.
This tenant improvement transformed existing lab space into a high-performance fermentation lab, including the installation of new casework, clean utility systems, and redundancy planning for critical power and HVAC systems. Sunseri led preconstruction, budgeting, and fast-track delivery strategies in collaboration with Fulcrum Property and 21st Bio.
