Key Project Attributes

• While the neighboring building has a dark brick industrial vibe, the Eastbank has a classical façade.
• The Class A, mixed-use commercial building represents the newly redeveloped riverfront neighborhood known as The Delta.

Project/Precast Scope

• The framing system consists of precast concrete columns, beams, stairs, elevator towers, and hollow-core slab enclosed with architectural precast concrete load-bearing insulated walls.
• On the upper levels, embedded thin brick, arches, and cornices within the architectural precast concrete panels combine to form the classic features of the façade.
• By working within the footprint and taking advantage of the efficient nature of precast concrete construction, the building was erected quickly without scaffolding, minimizing the impact on traffic and pedestrians.
