1035 Howard Street — San Francisco, California (IN CONSTRUCTION)

Project Details

Field	Details
Size	GSF unavailable (existing building conversion; floors originally designed for 125 PSF / level 2 for 250 PSF)
Stories / Height	Existing multi-story building (conversion to storage use with live load management)
Market	Self-Storage / Adaptive Reuse

Project Overview

Structural analysis and design for the conversion of an existing building at 1035 Howard Street in San Francisco. The existing structure was originally designed in 1930 for 125 PSF live load (level 2 for 250 PSF). Under the proposed storage usage, loads are limited to 125 PSF, resulting in a reduction of demand on columns and foundations. Scope includes structural analysis of the existing slab-on-grade for proposed storage units and related modifications.
