Project Description

The Meridian is a mixed use project located on the south edge of downtown Salem, Oregon. In keeping with the historic brick façade buildings of downtown, brick construction was the natural choice. Additionally, brick veneer’s tried and true water management capabilities necessitated it use in this condominium project. Compatibility with the brick veneer led to the selection of calcium-silicate stone masonry (CSM) for the base of the building. The CSM is installed in veneer fashion with water management capabilities identical to the brick veneer.

Date of Project Completion: January 2009
