947 Tiverton [The Watermark] — Westwood, CA

Developer: Watermark Retirement Communities | Architect: CallisonRTKL

Located at 947 Tiverton Ave in Westwood, the Watermark is a new 189,000 SF renovated and seismically upgraded residential development. The project is composed of 14 floors including 200 living spaces for seniors, and a host of amenities including a rooftop area with floor to ceiling glass, and a two-story auditorium with audio visual features for conferences, concerts, and performances.

Due to as built structural drawings not being available, a detailed as built survey and material testing program was performed according to ASCE 41-13 to assist with developing the seismic retrofit design required by the City of Los Angeles Non-Ductile Concrete Ordinance and the structural modifications required for the added amenities.

The Watermark is close to the UCLA Medical Center Campus, which will benefit residents by providing an exchange of health and wellness programming, including world-class medical care.
