With a modernist architecture that references the mid-century classics in the nearby hills, the development offers the lifestyle and amenities of a contemporary boutique hotel.”

Proactive Structural Solutions: Getting it right early in the process

The Highland Apartments exemplify DCI Engineers’ ability to add value to projects by being proactive early in the design process. The 150,000-sf project consists of five levels of residential units over one and a half levels of below-grade parking with some ground floor retail space. The building features a host of modern amenities, including a rooftop common area, fitness center, and pool. The development is conveniently located near a variety of restaurants, stores, and mass transit options.

Project Highlights

The structural system features five levels of Type III wood-framed construction over a podium constructed out of post-tensioned concrete slabs supported by concrete columns and concrete shearwalls.
DCI worked closely with the team to resolve issues concerning the lateral and gravity systems of the rooftop deck, which included a large pool.
DCI’s pragmatic approach to value engineering saved the client money by identifying cost-effective solutions to the fire-treated wood exterior wall framing.
