Berkeley, California

When Essex Property Trust of Palo Alto, North America’s fifth largest landlord, came to San Francisco based architect, Christiani Johnson with plans for a new 171 unit apartment complex over retail at 700 University Avenue, a very prominent Berkeley location, (the site is immediately adjacent to Berkeley’s beloved Brennan’s Hof Brau restaurant and sports bar and the Amtrak Station) Hohbach-Lewin, Inc. was called in to provide full structural design services for both the sub-grade parking and the five story super structure.

The site is arranged with two 5-story buildings consisting of four levels of wood framing supported by an elevated post tensioned concrete podium over the first floor retail spaces. To optimize parking and allow for an additional 50 living units, the Klaus hydraulic stackable car parking system was employed.
