We’re honored to share that Perry Architects has received the 2026 PCI Design Award – Harry H. Edwards Industry Advancement Award for the 921 Howard project in San Francisco.

This 18-story, fully affordable housing tower demonstrates how innovative design, efficient construction, and social impact can come together to create meaningful urban housing solutions. Working closely with Willis Construction Co. Inc. and the entire project team, we helped deliver San Francisco’s tallest fully affordable housing high-rise featuring a high-performance thin-shell precast concrete façade system.

We’re grateful to the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) for this recognition and proud of everyone who contributed to making this project a success.
