Quantum Consulting Engineers provided structural design for a 227-unit mixed-use residential complex, created to be a new and vibrant live/work neighborhood in downtown Scottsdale, Arizona. With neighborhood retail space and a one-level underground parking level, Safari Drive will feature swimming pools, water features, outdoor community areas and abundant landscaping. A variety of scale and materials are used throughout the 11-building complex.

Structurally, the buildings will be comprised of different combinations of masonry and light-gauge steel walls, light gauge joists floors, structural steel girders and braced frames, and exposed timber roof and loft framing. The below-grade parking structure will encompass most of the site, and will provide generous headroom and parking stalls.

Safari Drive received the 2009 Award of Merit from AIA Seattle – November of 2009
