    Developer keeps on hammering By Chip Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
    It's no wonder that after completing a $50 million renovation of the landmark Rotunda Building in downtown Oakland four years ago, hometown developer Phil Tagami dedicated it to the workers who built it.

    In the bowels of the eight-story, domed structure is a plaque with the names of each of the 2,000 construction workers who pounded a nail, hauled steel or put up sheetrock. It's both a dedication to the workers and a reminder of Tagami's own start in the business.
