GSH Attends BOMA San Francisco Luncheon

Posted on by Jessica Marcantuono

GSH team members Joe Annino, Jim Mahany, David Lobato Jr., and Luis Adame had the opportunity to attend the 2026 Summer BOMA San Francisco Luncheon.

The event brought together professionals from across the Bay Area commercial real estate community, providing a great opportunity to reconnect with industry colleagues, share ideas, and discuss the challenges and opportunities facing today’s commercial properties.

One of the highlights of the luncheon was hearing from guest speaker Erin Stafford, who delivered an engaging presentation on preventing burnout and improving productivity. Her insights served as a reminder that maintaining strong performance starts with supporting the well-being of the people behind the work.

Beyond the presentation, the event offered valuable networking opportunities and meaningful conversations with professionals throughout the commercial real estate industry. These connections help strengthen relationships, encourage collaboration, and keep industry professionals informed about emerging trends and best practices.

At GSH, we value opportunities to participate in industry events that foster learning, collaboration, and professional growth. Staying connected with organizations like BOMA helps us remain engaged with the communities we serve while continuing to bring fresh ideas and perspectives to our clients.

Thank you to BOMA San Francisco for hosting a great event. We appreciate the opportunity to connect with fellow industry professionals and look forward to future events.

Beat the Heat: Summer Safety Tips!

Posted on by Jessica Marcantuono

As temperatures rise during the summer months, engineering and maintenance professionals often face unique challenges while working outdoors, on rooftops, and in other heat-exposed environments. At GSH, the safety and well-being of our employees remains our top priority, and that includes taking proactive steps to prevent heat-related illnesses.

Working in high temperatures can increase the risk of heat exhaustion, heat stress, and dehydration. These conditions can affect not only personal health but also concentration, decision-making, and overall job performance. By taking simple precautions, teams can stay safe, productive, and prepared throughout the summer season.

Three Simple Ways to Stay Safe in the Heat

Stay Hydrated

One of the most important defenses against heat-related illness is proper hydration. Drink water regularly throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Waiting until thirst sets in may mean your body is already becoming dehydrated.

Take Breaks When Needed

When working in hot environments, it’s important to listen to your body. Regular rest breaks can help prevent overheating and allow workers to recover before symptoms of heat stress develop.

Seek Shade or Cooler Areas

Whenever possible, take breaks in shaded areas, air-conditioned spaces, or other cool environments. Even short periods out of direct sunlight can help lower body temperature and reduce the effects of prolonged heat exposure.

Looking Out for One Another

Heat safety is a team effort. Supervisors and coworkers should remain aware of the signs of heat-related illness, including dizziness, excessive sweating, fatigue, headaches, and nausea. Encouraging open communication and checking in on one another can make a significant difference in preventing serious health concerns.

At GSH, we believe that a strong safety culture extends beyond procedures and policies. It means creating an environment where employees feel empowered to prioritize their well-being and support their colleagues every day.

As summer temperatures continue to climb, remember the fundamentals:

Stay Hydrated. Stay Alert. Stay Safe.

By taking these simple precautions and looking out for one another, we can help ensure everyone returns home safely at the end of each workday.

GSH Marks World Earth Day With Community Action

Posted on by Jessica Marcantuono
Collage of happy GSH volunteers outside picking up litter.

On World Earth Day, GSH reflects on this year’s theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” a powerful reminder that meaningful change often begins with small, practical actions.

To put this message into action, a GSH team steps away from day‑to‑day operations and into the Cambridge sunshine to support a local litter pick around the Eddington estate—one of the University of Cambridge’s newest residential communities and a site GSH is proud to help maintain.

Equipped with high‑visibility gear, litter pickers, and plenty of enthusiasm (and humour), the team works across the estate to collect and safely dispose of waste, helping keep the environment clean, safe, and welcoming for residents and visitors alike.

It is easy to walk past litter—but far more meaningful to stop and take responsibility. That sense of ownership is what “Our Power”represents at GSH: the ability—and responsibility—to care for the environments we support and to give back to the communities we serve.

A sincere thank you goes to Cambridge City Council for providing the equipment and materials that make the day possible, and an even greater thank you to the GSH team members who dedicate their time to making a visible difference. Proof that sometimes the simplest actions create the greatest impact.
