TGRWA provided structural engineering services for the new condominium tower in the downtown Loop neighborhood. The 950,000 sq. ft., 47-story, 714 unit tower includes an 11-story, 570 car parking garage at its base. The post-tensioned cast-in-place concrete structure incorporates cantilevered balconies and a concrete ribbon around the building elevations to create a signature look. The building includes retail spaces, and the façade includes precast panels and glass curtain wall.
