Heritage Court is a long-term elderly housing facility located within an urban environment. Most of the existing four-story un-reinforced masonry bearing wall structure was demolished. No existing drawings were available for the design phase of the project. A new four-story building was designed and built on the same site. The new structure is a combination of wood- and steel-floor and roof framing with reinforced masonry bearing walls. To attain redevelopment funding, the front fa?ade of the existing building was retained and attached to the new structure. Restoration of the existing masonry was also performed. The project also included renovated fa?ade of the adjacent two-story administration building.
