Bamboo Lumber at Oyster Point

Corporate | South San Francisco, California

Channel Lumber is proud to have supplied dassoXTR Fused Bamboo for the amphitheater at Oyster Point Development Phase 2, a landmark commercial project in South San Francisco. Spanning roughly 3,000 square feet of amphitheater space, 50 linear feet of feature walls, and 17 custom benches, this project showcases what is possible when high-performance sustainable materials meet world-class landscape architecture. It also highlights the kind of specialty commercial lumber supply work that Channel Lumber has built its reputation on across the Bay Area.

The Project and the Product

The Oyster Point Development is a major mixed-use campus at 363 Oyster Point Boulevard, designed by the acclaimed landscape architecture firm James Corner Field Operations and built by Bjork Construction Company. Here is an overview of project and full gallery. The material specified for the amphitheater seating, benches, and feature walls was dassoXTR Fused Bamboo in the Epic Cognac finish. This product is known for its rich color, structural consistency, and exceptional durability in outdoor environments. Channel Lumber, as the authorized dealer on the project, sourced and supplied the full material package. Our team's ability to fulfill specialty lumber orders with precision and speed is exactly why contractors and designers turn to us for projects of this scope.

A premium engineered material dassoXTR Fused Bamboo performs at the level of tropical hardwoods while offering significant sustainability advantages. It is FSC certified, LEED compatible, and rated Class A for fire resistance, making it well suited for California's demanding building codes and WUI requirements. At Channel Lumber, we are committed to stocking and supplying green building materials that support both design ambition and responsible construction. Bamboo lumber of this caliber represents exactly the kind of forward-thinking product our clients increasingly need, particularly on high-profile commercial and civic projects in the Bay Area.

Why Specialty Material Supply Matters

Projects like Oyster Point require more than a supplier who can take an order. They require a partner who understands material specifications, lead times, and the logistical demands of large commercial job sites. Channel Lumber's custom milling capabilities and our 14-acre Richmond facility give us the flexibility to handle specialty products alongside standard inventory, keeping projects on schedule without compromise. Our delivery fleet, the largest in the Bay Area, ensures that materials arrive on time and in the condition specified, whether the destination is a South San Francisco waterfront campus or a job site anywhere across the region.

The Oyster Point amphitheater is a striking example of what sustainable, design-forward lumber can achieve in a commercial context. We are proud to have played a role in bringing it to life, and we look forward to supporting more projects that push the boundaries of what wood and bamboo can do in the built environment. If you are working on a commercial project that calls for specialty lumber, millwork, or hard-to-source materials, our team is ready to help you get it right.
