TCE engineered the structural system for a new 12-story, 262-room hotel in the heart of downtown Washington, carefully integrating the new construction with an existing three-story building whose façade was preserved.
The project replaces an existing seven-story office building with a new eight-story apartment building consisting of five stories of wood construction over a three-story podium, built on top of the existing below-grade parking garage.
This mixed-use redevelopment includes the renovation and reuse of the courtyard level and four below-grade levels of an existing post-tensioned concrete structure, combined with new above-grade residential construction.
Major mixed-use redevelopment of Ballston Common delivering 300,000 gsf of residential above the retail floors, 115,000 gsf of retail across the first three levels above grade, and 78,000 gsf of parking in two levels below grade — for a total of 493,000 gsf built as one integrated structure.
