Speight Marshall Francis served as Structural Engineer of Record and Special Inspector for this 5-story, 48-unit condominium building (4 stories, 16 units per floor) with parking, retail space, offices, and restaurants on the street level.  The condominiums are two- and three-bedrooms on one level with elevators to the other levels.  The building is constructed of composite steel and concrete.  Our firm also designed a separate parking structure.  The parking structure and walkway roofs have high tensile fabric canopies that required structural steel support and anchorage.
