Cheatham Street Flats
The Cheatham Street Flats, located in San Marcos, Texas, are a 143-unit, 234-bed student housing mixed-use development.
This innovative project features site-built foundations and a reinforced concrete parking structure that supports four levels of prefabricated modular construction.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Challenge One
Amenity and public space below modules requires a transfer structure that is compatible with the unique modular system.
Solution One
Wide-flanged structural steel sections were used to develop a series of transfer structures at Level 3 and Level 4 that support the housing and hallway modules. Special detailing of the connections to the transfer structure enables tolerance in the modular system above.
