Project Size:
112,400 ft²Key Project Attributes
- Construct a seven-story, midrise building and a pair of low-rise buildings for a mixed-income housing development.
- Repetition, standard window sizes, and the creative use of a few simple concrete formliners give scale, texture, a solid presence, and complexity to the development while staying within budget.
- Formal, landscaped front entries and rear porches that overlook the interior courtyard give residents a sense of community.
Project/Precast Scope
- For the seven-story building, 696 precast concrete components, including planks, beams, columns, solid wall panels, and stairs, were used. The smaller structures required another 358 precast concrete pieces.
- Precast concrete components were installed in less than a month, and the entire project was completed in 2021.
