New Construction, High-Rise, Design-Build 117,000 SF

AlfaTech provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing design-build engineering design for this project located in the downtown Van Ness and Market Area. This project is a model of a transit-oriented, resource-efficient mixed-use development. The 1554-64 Market Street is a new construction 12- story condominium twin tower, rising 136’ above ground. The space program offers approximately 12,500 sq. ft. sub-grade parking space, 5,000 SF ground-floor retail space, and 117,000 SF market-rate housing realized with 120 units. The open, green- roof terrace was shielded from wind and noise with a 15’ high part -translucent, part-opaque parapet. This project pursued California GreenPoint Rating. The engineering systems were designed to deliver built-in energy- and water-efficiency for long-term cost savings and user flexibility. Mechanical conditioning was achieved through dynamic, building-based heat recovery supplemented with active and natural ventilation modes in each unit. Energy-efficiency was furthered with occupancy-based lighting control in amenity areas and living rooms. Site water usage was reduced primarily through low-flow fixtures.
