1840 N. Highland

The property at 1840 N. Highland Ave. is a new, luxury multifamily complex in the heart of Hollywood, CA, steps away from the world famous Hollywood Bowl and Hollywood Boulevard. The 118-unit complex will sit on an 8,144 square-foot lot, and presented several challenges, which 70,000 square feet of EPRO’s E.Protect+ and E.Proformance below-grade solutions were able to mitigate. E.Protect+ Underslab was implemented to protect the building foundation and blindside vertical walls for water intrusion considerations. In addition, E.Protect+ transitioned to E.Proformance Shoring system above the design water table. Complexity increased as EPRO’s negative side waterproofing systems were applied directly to the Geofoam layers for below-grade waterproofing purposes. The transition between E.Protect+ (hydrostatic) and E.Proformance (non-hydrostatic) was at 2'-0 above the high historical water table level and extended to grade. The 1840 N. Highland Ave. apartments will be completed in 2019. The project team included general contractor Frymer Construction, architect Arquitectonica, waterproofing consultant Terra-Petra, and certified EPRO applicator BMG.
