Project Highlights

DCI's innovative parking scheme led to the removal of half a floor of parking.
The parking garage will serve approximately 371 cars.
Exterior shear walls are used for the lateral system and as a fire separation to the adjacent apartment units.
The shear walls were also integrated into the street facade to replace costly stucco backup systems and act as vehicle barriers.
