Project Description

The Gallery Condominiums at 2nd & Broad have two integrated components.  The first is a 4-level, below-grade parking structure totaling 84,747 square feet.  Above is a 13-story, 247,812 square foot multi-use, post-tension, cast-in-place tower including a penthouse level.

Site excavation required the removal and export of approximately 36,000 cubic yards of material.  Excavation is held in place on all four faces with a soil nails/shotcrete operation.  Because of the proximity of an existing building on the west elevation, soldier piles were placed to further enhance the stability of the excavation.  With a finish elevation at the 1st floor of 108.5' and top of SOG elevation of 74.5', the excavation will average roughly 36' in depth at the lowest point.   An additional excavation will be made for the underground detention tank at the P3 level.  Temporary shoring will be installed so that it is not necessary to lay back this excavation and impact the digging of spread column footing in the same vicinity.

Structurally, the underground parking structure consists of a large pad and strip footings, cast-in-place columns and shear walls, with post-tensioned slabs and beams.  The cast-in-place columns and shear walls with post-tensioned slab construction will continue up through the 13 floors of the residential tower.

The tower will be clad in a variety of architectural finishes oriented to accentuate the vertical plane. These vertical elements are dominated by brick and aluminum louver columns on all four elevations.  An aluminum window wall system of glazing will complete the building envelope. At various floors the building steps back to add some relief to the different elevations. Balconies and decks with hybrid steel and glass railing systems complete the exterior of the tower.

A complete package of site work upgrades are planned for the project as well.  All new concrete sidewalks on the east and south side with ADA accessible ramps will be installed. Decorative stone pavers with a metal panel canopy are planned for the main lobby entrance.  New landscaping will be included in raised-wall and at-grade planters. There will also be landscaping at the 7th floor and rooftop decks.
