The 321 Lofts in downtown Olympia consist of 36 market-rate apartments in a three-story, 32,400 square-foot building over one-story of parking and a residential lobby. The lofts feature large corner windows in every unit which maximize natural light and take in views of the Capitol building,  extended roof projections, and a wide-open parking garage which allows ground-level views through the site. During the construction phase, poor soil conditions, a sloped site, and winter flooding posed a challenge to the project team. PCS designed 110-foot deep open-ended steel pile foundations to overcome these complications, ensuring the project could move forward on schedule. Successfully completed with constant collaboration among the entire team, the 321 Lofts stand as a modern and stylish addition to Olympia’s multifamily housing market.
