706 Mission & Aronson Building Renovation

This mixed-use project combines new construction with careful renovation.  A 40-story, Performance-Based Seismic Design tower offers 146 residential units, ground-floor retail space, a four-story podium for a Mexican heritage museum, and three below-grade levels with a small area for parking.  Drilled shafts six ft in diameter extend below grade approximately 280 ft to support the tower.  Next door, a seismically upgraded and extensively renovated 10-story building constructed in 1903 offers 18 residential units and office space for museum staff.
