Sandy Springs City Center Update

Check out this update on our Sandy Springs City Center project in Sandy Springs, Georgia.

This project was two type III timber multi-family structures with some areas of post tensioned concrete podium over retail and amenities.   A portion of the south building was located directly over an existing subterranean parking structure so special framing details and expansion joints were provided in the design to allow for the differential settlement of the foundation.
