It will rise five stories above the intersection of 14th and Valencia Streets in San Francisco and will provide this thriving community with additional retail and restaurant space at the ground level along with four stories of residential condominiums above. The design includes an underground parking garage which will accommodate all of the residents and minimize impact on street parking. Due to the slope along 14th street the building design incorporates a number of elevation changes as it steps its way down from Valencia down to Mission. The foundation makes use of a poured-in-place concrete mat slab over a grouted soil base. The ground and second floor decks use post-tensioned slab construction to minimize the structure thickness and meet the building height restrictions. At the second floor the structure transitions to wood framing. The design will also accommodate a roof deck for use by all the tenants. The 14th street and Valencia Street elevations will also include floor to ceiling windows. Currently the mat slab has been poured, the perimeter retaining walls have been shotcreted in place, parking level walls and columns are slated to be poured by mid-April.
