Molina Construction proudly presents our exceptional work on a groundbreaking endeavor: the construction of a new 4-story modern multi-residential building spanning 4,473 sq ft. This impressive structure combines commercial storefront space on the ground level, ADA compliant, with single-family residential living on levels 2 and 3. The building features 2-hour fire-rated exterior wall and roof assemblies, a dedicated 4″ fire line, and a sophisticated monitoring system for enhanced safety. Inside, residents enjoy the convenience of a residential elevator and smart home controls, as well as the comfort of hydronic floor heating and a dedicated outside air filtered inflow system.

Project Challenges

The project posed various challenges, and our expert team rose to the occasion. To ensure a stable foundation, we drilled and poured approximately fourteen 24-inch diameter concrete piers, reaching 25′ deep into the sand and an additional 10′ into the bedrock. In the back of the property, we strategically added five more concrete piers, 24 inches in diameter and 16-18′ deep through shale, to support a massive 20′ tall by 25′ wide by 12″ thick retaining wall. We executed every step with precision, pouring perimeter foundation walls and footings in sections to safeguard neighboring buildings from any potential damage.

The unique challenge of a 1″ lot line demanded ingenious solutions. We strategically built sections of exterior walls measuring 8′ long on each level, complete with exterior siding, and meticulously waterproofed the seams between these sections. This approach allowed us to work effectively while maintaining the utmost respect for the adjacent property boundaries.
