About Mixed-Use Podium Structures
Mixed-use podium structures form the concrete platform supporting vertical construction above—typically multi-family residential or hotels over ground-level retail and parking. These complex structural systems demand expertise in post-tensioned slabs, parking garage construction, and the transfer structures that transition between uses.
As your general contractor for podium structures, we deliver complete concrete packages from foundation through podium deck, coordinating closely with vertical construction teams to ensure seamless handoffs. The DFW area has seen explosive mixed-use development, particularly in urban cores and transit-oriented districts where podium construction enables high-density development.
Podium structures present unique challenges—differential settlement between tower and podium, complex MEP routing through transfer levels, waterproofing for occupied spaces below, and coordination between multiple construction teams working simultaneously. Our experience managing these interfaces prevents the delays and quality issues that plague less experienced contractors.
Modern podium designs often incorporate amenity decks, rooftop pools, and landscaped plazas at the podium level. These features require additional waterproofing, drainage planning, and structural coordination that we integrate into our comprehensive approach to podium construction.

Frequently asked questions
Mixed-Use Podium Structures in Irving, TX
Common questions from developers and property owners planning mixed-use podium structures projects across North Texas.
What's the typical podium height for mixed-use projects?
Podium structures typically rise 1-4 stories above grade, providing parking and retail below residential or hotel towers above. The exact configuration depends on zoning, parking requirements, and project economics.
How do you waterproof podium decks with occupied space below?
Podium waterproofing requires complete membrane systems, drainage layers, and protection boards before topping slabs or landscaping. We coordinate with waterproofing specialists to deliver leak-free systems with long-term warranties.
What about coordination with vertical construction teams?
Successful podium projects require tight coordination between podium concrete, waterproofing, and vertical construction. We establish clear handoff criteria, joint inspection protocols, and schedule coordination to keep all teams moving efficiently.
Can amenity decks be added at the podium level?
Yes, pools, fitness areas, and outdoor amenity spaces are commonly integrated into podium structures. These features require additional structural capacity, waterproofing, and MEP coordination that we plan from the project's start.
