Project Overview

A 10-storey mixed-use development with commercial at grade and residential above, supported by a hybrid concrete and steel structural system over one underground level.

Eleman completed a whole-building Life Cycle Assessment using Athena 5.4 to demonstrate compliance with VBBL 2019 Section 10.4 (ZEBP) at Building Permit, providing material take-offs coordination and permit-ready submission tables.
