ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST: 181 Fremont Receives Design Award for Steel Construction
May 15, 2019
The innovative tower at 181 Fremont made headlines when it went up in San Francisco’s SoMa neighborhood, and now the mixed-use building has garnered an award for its construction design. The resilient structure won a coveted 2019 American Institute of Steel Construction Award in recognition of the high-strength steel exoskeleton, which was designed by engineers at Arup. The upper floors of 181 Fremont are home to a collection of San Francisco luxury condos whose residents, living hundreds of feet above sea level and enjoying breathtaking views of San Francisco, the Bay, Angel Island, and the East Bay beyond, are the main beneficiaries of this strong steel construction.
