Located on the former Fort Ord Army Base in Monterey County, Manzanita Place provides 66 affordable rental units and marks the first housing community to be completed in the East Garrison master-planned development within Monterey.
FTF collaborated closely with the client and architect to develop a robust and affordable structural system that consisted of wood structural elements and plywood shear walls. All the buildings were supported on a shallow concrete strip foundation and concrete slabs on grade. The proper selection of the structural system and successful collaboration within the design team resulted in a seamless construction that was completed on schedule and within budget.
