Apex 41 Apartments is residential building located in the heart of the Yorktown shopping district in Lombard, Illinois. The building features multiple balconies and reveals, breaking up the profile and providing visual interest, while at the same time providing individual outdoor areas for most tenants. The building is a 5-story cold-formed steel structure with a 2-story precast concrete parking garage. The stair towers and elevator shafts were framed with CMU walls.

K&H provided structural engineering services for the new design, collaborating with the design team to explore various framing options for the residential portion. Ultimately, our team recommended the cold-formed steel design for its performance characteristics, speedy acquisition, and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, we played a crucial role in the foundation design for the precast-framed parking structure, navigating the challenges of a sloped site and coordinating seamlessly with the precast concrete design-build team. Despite the complexity, K&H adeptly managed multiple team collaborations, ensuring the project remained on track within the fast-paced schedule.
