Murphy Burr Curry, Inc. provided the structural design for this new eight-story concrete building featuring 14 condominium units over commercial retail space and mechanical parking garage.

The foundation is a 30"-thick reinforced concrete mat bearing over soil improvements consisting of 18" diameter soil-cement columns at 3' 6" on center each way. A seven-foot-deep parking pit located at the rear provides 14 mechanical automatic parking structures. The elevation of the bottom of the pit is just above ground water.

From the second to the eighth floor, the floor slabs use post-tensioning. The eighth-floor mezzanine floor slab and roof slab are cast-in-place reinforced concrete.

MBC achieved the necessary seismic lateral resistance by using special reinforced concrete shear wall system.

Service at the adjacent Momo's restaurant continued uninterrupted, due to shoring and underpinning of building walls and foundations along the south and west property lines.
