This project consisted of demolishing 12 buildings and replacing them with five larger buildings which include independent living and assisted living units as well as skilled nursing and memory care. The senior community spans over 260,000 sq. ft. and has space for 181 residents. FWC provided structural engineering services for all five multi-level buildings. The independent and assisted living units consist of timber framing over a concrete podium structure, which has underground parking, a concrete framed dining hall, and landscape features. The skilled nursing section was designed with structural cold-formed steel framing and was the first multi-level building using this material for the vertical system to be successfully reviewed and approved through OSHPD.

This project consisted of a partial demolition of an existing 2-level industrial building built in 1926 and the construction of a new 5-level residential condo building with over 74,000 sq. ft. A portion of the original industrial building that contains the brick façade was preserved in order to serve as a visual reminder of the building’s original use and the industrial history of the San Francisco Dogpatch neighborhood. The new residential building accommodates 69 luxury one, two and three bedroom condos, as well as a public courtyard, large lobby, and an expansive roof deck with breathtaking city and water views. FWC provided structural engineering services for the design of the load bearing cold-formed steel framing for all of the residential levels.
