Paramount Apartments
San Francisco, California
39 stories
8 levels parking
460,000 sf residential space
200, 000 sf parking / retail space

 

Paramount Apartments is a 39 story, 486 unit residential building with one basement level in San Francisco. At over 400’, it is the tallest concrete building in California. Public areas occupy the first four floors and parking occupies the lower eight floors on the north side.

A mat foundation supports the building. Occupancy separations on the lower eight floors allowed for a shearwall system to brace these levels. Above the 8 th floor, a precast concrete moment frame at the building perimeter serves a dual purpose of resisting seismic load and functioning as the exterior architectural façade. Both the Hybrid Beam System and the Dywidag Ductile Connector System were utilized in the precast frame.
