Rick was part of the design team for this project. It is the fourth tallest all-residential building in the United States. Rick designed the floor of transfer girders. Transfer girders large beams that support main building columns from above, and transfer the forces to other building columns below. The girder were massive. They were typically about 6 feet wide and 17 feet deep. The design loads on the girders were up to 6 million pounds because they supported the upper 40 stories of the structure.
