San Francisco, CA

50 Jones

Scope/Solutions

The new apartment building bordered by Jones Street, Golden Gate Avenue, and Market Street brings much-needed housing to San Francisco’s Mid-Market neighborhood. Designed to complement the surrounding theater district, the fourteen-story building features opaque wall panels and punched windows. SGH consulted on the building enclosure design for the project.

SGH assisted with designing waterproofing; exterior facades featuring precast concrete panels, fiber cement rainscreen, storefront, and punched windows; and roofing. Highlights of our work include:

  • Consulted on the waterproofing design for the below-grade basement, landscaped courtyard, and private terraces along with roofing at several levels, including amenity roof deck areas
  • Provided recommendations to improve the waterproofing performance and integrate the various systems, including transitions and integrations between 50 Jones and the existing adjacent structures
  • Created sketches to convey proposed details
  • Consulted on a performance mockup for the exterior wall assemblies
  • Reviewed related submittals, observed ongoing construction, and witnessed performance testing to compare with the design intent and project requirements
  • Evaluated variations in the as-built details and helped develop solutions
