Nashville, TN
900 Church
Scope/Solutions
With the development at Nashville Yards, two new towers at 801 and 900 Church Street bring more than 700 apartments to the area. The thirty-four-story 900 Church was designed as pairs of cubes offset from each other and the cubes above or below, creating alcoves for amenity spaces. In addition to 356 apartments, the building includes indoor and outdoor amenity spaces with two pools. SGH consulted on the fire life safety for the project comprising Type IA construction.
At more than 416 ft, 900 Church required additional life safety features as dictated by the International Building Code. Highlights of SGH’s fire life safety services include:
- Reviewing the architectural and egress plans and helping the design team incorporate solutions to comply with fire life safety code requirements
- Preparing a fire life safety report summarizing building features and construction, fire and smoke protection features and systems, and means of egress
- Helping develop fire life safety strategies for the high-rise building
- Coordinating with Metropolitan Government of Nashville, the authority having jurisdiction, and Giarratana, the building owner
Meeting with city plan reviewers to review and address comments

SkyHouse Dallas Parking Deck
The Skyhouse Dallas comprises a high-rise apartment building and adjoining eight-level parking garage. During construction of the precast, prestressed concrete parking structure, the project team observed cracks and spalling in several lightweight concrete double tees. SGH was retained by the general contractor to peer review proposed repairs by others.
