The second and third floor slabs will be post tensioned concrete slabs. The garage walls, columns, foundations, and slab on grade will also be created from conventionally reinforced concrete. Courtyard areas will be created from a slab fold in the elevated podium to drop the level of the podium below the level of the units.
