Towngate North features 81 units situated in two mid-rise 5-story buildings. Floor plans at Towngate North feature one, two and three bedroom configurations with designer details. The existing structures consist of two-way, cast-in-place concrete flat slabs at each level supported by concrete columns at approximately 20’ on center, each direction. Each level is a unique floor design which steps back at each level to create large outdoor terraces. The residential levels are located above a multilevel below-grade, cast-in-place concrete parking garage. The structural effort included enlargement of an existing elevator shaft for a stretcher compliant elevator, extension of an elevator to access the roof, extension of a stair tower to access the roof, and a design of a new roof terrace design with views of parkland, Reagan National Airport, and DC. Portions of the slab were infilled and extended to provide more square footage for units, and review and approval of hundreds of new core drilled slab openings for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing lines and ducts.
