Foundation and superstructure design for a new 7-story building. Design of the foundation systems presented some challenges due to proximity of adjacent buildings.

The superstructure is constructed with cast-in-place concrete slabs supported by beams and columns. Cast-in-place concrete shear walls provide lateral stability for the building.

Foundation and superstructure design for a new 7-story building. Foundations are cast-in-place concrete strip footings supporting concrete foundation walls.

The superstructure is constructed with CMU load-bearing walls supporting precast concrete floor planks. CMU shear walls provide lateral stability for the building.

foundation and superstructure design for a new 7-story and a 12-story building connected by a 3-story podium. The podium is constructed with concrete slabs, steel beams and columns. The upper floors are constructed with CMU load-bearing walls supporting precast concrete floor planks.

The 7-story building is constructed with CMU load-bearing walls supporting precast concrete floor planks. Steel transfer girders were used at the first-floor ceiling to create larger community and retails spaces.
