PROJECT OVERVIEW
Precast concrete construction is replacing traditional masonry with its fresh, modern take on the old standards. It can be found in residential projects throughout the city, but the newest example is 50 Jones, a 13-story high-rise in San Francisco’s emerging Mid-Market neighborhood. Clad in faceted precast concrete of two contrasting colors, the result is a durable, modern, and contextual design.

PRECAST SOLUTION
The apartments at 50 Jones have brought housing to one of San Francisco’s emerging neighborhoods, converting a parking lot frequented by drug dealers into a building that fits into the character of the Mid-Market neighborhood. The use of prefabricated panels and preglazing increased efficiencies, kept costs down, and maintained visual interest. |
