Aerial view of a construction site with a crane in a suburban neighborhood. Surrounding streets, trees, and houses are visible.

Currently under construction, this 3 over 1 podium is a daylight basement project. The ground level combines occupied spaces with parking that terraces within the garage due to the site grading. This terracing translated into a stepped podium to maintain clearance. In addition, high seismic load and being in a high ground-water table provided for some opportunities to provide cost effective solutions for construction.
