City View Garage in Miami’s Design District Features 3 Iconic Facades by Zahner

Completed in 2015, the City View Garage in Miami's Design District stands as a captivating feature in a neighborhood surrounded by iconic works of architecture. The development was led by Dacra, who, over the years, has transformed the district from an overlooked and stagnant area into a thriving center for commerce and culture. Zahner was brought on board by the lead architect, Tim Haas, to assist in the design engineering, fabrication, and installation of all three distinct facades on the City View Garage. We worked closely with the featured designers - Leong Leong, IwamotoScott Architecture, and renowned artist John Baldessari - to capture the essence of each unique design in a way that was both functional and impactful.

Parking Garage Facades and Embeds Made Easier and Less Risky

Parking garages and the metal facades that adorn them are often the last parts of a project to be designed, bid, and built, which can lead to rushed planning, misplaced embed anchors, and costly post-installation adjustments and delays. There’s a way to prevent these problems by eliminating the risk of misaligned embed anchors. Innovative, universal embed methods that line up every time, combined with collaborative design, engineering, and installation services are giving architects the design aesthetic they crave, and contractors the risk management they require.
