Rise: A Real Estate Company expects to hire a forensic engineer to analyze the concrete parking garage and podium at its Downtown Rise Doro apartments, which were destroyed by fire at the end of January as the first residents were expected to move into the first 10 units.

Rise Senior Vice President of Development Matt Marshall said Thursday that the Jacksonville-based company waits for a fire marshal’s report about the cause of the fire and then from the insurance company.

Depending on those reports, Rise wants to hire the structural engineer to determine whether the concrete garage and the podium, which was the base for the five floors of wood-frame apartments that were destroyed, can be reused.
