Why Did the Owner Select Tilt-Up?

Complexities include limited casting area, panels with little repetition, quoin design, curved balconies, dormers and inlaid brick. The result was 106 Tilt-Up and site cast pieces. The decks, moldings and columns were all cast on site and erected in the same fashion as the Tilt-Up panels resulting in a complete concrete façade.
