Everybody Goes Downtown

摘要

A new Structure for what promises to be high-end shopping is taking shape on the historic downtown plaza in Santa Fe. Local contractor Cameron Construction started on the three-story "Santa Fe Arcade" in December. The building team is eyeing a spring completion on the design-build project that includes a storage basement. The arcade will cost approximately 10 million dollars and is owned by the Santa Fe Arcade LLC. Because the project sits on the historic Santa Fe Plaza, designers and builders had to contend with many restrictions, including a height limitation. The owner and designer decided to use cast-in-place concrete to preserve ceiling space and to avoid using steel, which would have required deep steel beams.
