SK&A provided structural engineering services for this mid-rise, residential over retail project facing Connecticut Avenue. The rear of the project site overlooks Rock Creek Park. The new building replaces a previous retail strip mall and contains 272 apartments, below-grade structured parking, and a street-level retail component.
The above grade residential tower is constructed of two-way post-tensioned flat plate concrete. A below-grade parking structure consists of a poured-in place conventional concrete slab. SK&A also served as the Special Inspections Engineer-of-Record for the project. Our scope of services included various inspections of the earthwork/foundations, excavation support, structural concrete, architectural and structural precast concrete, masonry, structural steel, cold-formed metal framing, fireproofing, waterproofing, roofing, and building envelope.
