Arcadia, CA | Retail: five 1 stories / Parking: 2 subterranean levels | 702,860 sq ft

The Westfield Santa Anita Expansion added two levels of parking and one level of retail adjacent to the existing mall. One level of parking is subterranean and the other is at ground level. The elevated reinforced concrete podium slab supports five 1-story steel retail buildings with landscaped plaza areas between the buildings. Access to the adjacent existing mall is provided at the ground level parking and at the retail podium. Shallow concrete beams spanning in one direction allowed for thinner slabs, which provided the most efficient structural system for the desired column configuration. The steel buildings are laterally braced by moment frames and braced frames and the concrete levels are laterally braced by concrete shear walls.
