Project Highlights

DCI was able to save the client money on material costs by maximizing joint spacing and utilizing Hem-Fir, a cheaper alternative to conventional Douglas Fir construction.
A concrete transfer slab over the top of the parking provides a pedestal for the upper wood-framed floors as well as an outdoor pool.
A 128-space parking garage is provided in a two-story below-grade podium, constructed with post-tensioned concrete slabs.
