11 Hoyt Wins ACEC 2022 Engineering Excellence Award

��ý — Wed, 25 May 2022 15:49:11 +0000

The Hoyt Street project in downtown Brooklyn consists of a residential tower above a two-story podium. The ground floor features retail space, the residential lobby and porte-cochere. The basement of the existing building was re-used.

Plaza worked with Triton Construction on the demolition of the original building and construction of the core and shell for a 51-story, 730,000-square-foot tower with 490 residences. The building rises 620 feet above the street. The project required careful planning so as not to disrupt the service for the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) subway lines running beneath Fulton Street on the north side of the site. The building’s exterior is like a sculpture, with the elements migrating across its facade. More than 190 unique floor plans accommodate a diverse mix of residents. Built of precast concrete, the scalloped facade units were prefabricated and installed on-site.

The pre-existing building housed a mixture of parking, storage and ground-floor retail spaces. The new structure is primarily cast-in-place concrete with a structural steel-framed roof. The plan called for retaining the existing structure below grade, including the ground-floor slabs east and west of the tower. The superstructure tower section consists of reinforced cast-in-place concrete and contains flat plate floor slabs.

Strategic Capital, Cape Advisors, and Forum Absolute Capital Partners today announced that closings have commenced at the partnership’s new and highly anticipated Downtown residential tower, Greenwich West. Located at 110 Charlton Street and created entirely by a team of celebrated French designers, Greenwich West brings 170 loft-style residences and a thoughtfully curated selection of amenities to one of Manhattan’s most desirable neighborhoods, West Soho. At 30 stories, one of the tallest buildings in Hudson Square – the future home to Disney’s ABC and Google’s East Coast head quarters – the full-service condominium provides scenic panoramas of the Hudson River, New York Harbor, and Statue of Liberty.

“Located at the nexus of some of New York’s most prized neighborhoods and within close proximity to the waterfront and an amazing selection of shopping, dining and entertainment options, we’re excited to welcome residents home to Greenwich West and enjoy everything the building and surrounding area has to offer,” said Philip Gesue, Chief Development Officer for Strategic Capital. “A building like no other in New York with its Parisian and New York design influences, Greenwich West continues to attract buyers from all over the world with its attainable pricing and value, prime downtown location and contextual design.”

In addition to closings commencing, and the return to in-person appointments and tours, the building is nearing completion and is set to unveil the amenities and first model residences later this fall. The collection of homes will be beautifully furnished in collaboration with leading home décor store Design within Reach (DWR), best known for their accessible modern design and sleek offerings. Showcasing the beautiful residences, buyers will be able to recreate the one-of-a-kind looks upon moving in and will be able to purchase DWR’s iconic pieces, both past and present, through an exclusive partnership. The thoughtful collection of curated pieces selected specifically for the tower, which complement the architecture and interiors, include staples like the Saarinen table, Emmy Sofa, Edel Console, Raleigh Bed, Pacha Chairs, Tiki leather couch, Aura Credenza and more.

Greenwich West features architecture by acclaimed Paris-based architecture firm Loci Anima, with interiors by Parisian designer Sebastien Segers, known for his private homes, spas, and boutiques for clients such as Giorgio Armani and Christian Dior. The light-filled homes, ranging from studios to three-bedroom residences including penthouses, impart a bespoke quality and feature gently curved, hand-plastered interior wall corners to echo the building’s exterior architecture. A variety of residences feature substantial private terraces, including the collection of soaring penthouses that crown the top floors of the building, with only a handful remaining available for purchase. Residence 19B is an expansive two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home on the market for $3.755 million, and boasts more than 120 square feet of outdoor space with beautiful city and water views. Pricing begins at $1.1 million and goes up to $7.95 million.

A stunning arrival experience welcomes residents home and will set the luxurious tone for the building the moment one enters. Residents will make a dramatic entrance up grand marble stairs to a double-height lobby detailed in travertine, leather paneled walls and rosewood millwork. The lobby boasts a captivating wall of windows framing views of the courtyard Viewing Garden, designed by legendary French botanist Patrick Blanc, creator of the vertical garden. A symbol of health and well being, the Viewing Garden will be home to multiple plant species artfully planted on walls reaching up to 18 feet in height.

Greenwich West includes a full array of amenities and services including a 24-hour attended lobby, onsite resident manager, porter and handyman staff.

��ý Civil Participates in 2019 New York State MWBE Forum

��ý — Thu, 03 Oct 2019 14:43:22 +0000

The forum provided a great opportunity for ��ý Civil to affirm its commitment to using MWBEs on all its projects and promote the company’s commitment to developing business opportunities for socially and economically disadvantaged businesses, which is part of its obligation as a leader in the construction industry. ��ý Civil and the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) 3rd Track Contractors (3TC) were exhibitors at the forum and met with many potential partners. ��ý Civil reached out to more than 80 subcontractors who showed interest in building a relationship with ��ý Civil. The company also reconnected with subcontractors the company already has built business relationships with during previous outreach events.

With legislation signed earlier this year, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo reauthorized the MWBE program (Executive Law Article 15-A) for the next five years. The reauthorization not only ensures that minority- and women-owned businesses will continue to meaningfully participate in state contracting, it also significantly enhances New York MWBE program, enabling more firms to benefit from it.

The MWBE Forum enhanced ��ý’s reputation and built a positive image related to the company’s support of MWBE firms in the industry. It was also a great chance to promote the company’s accomplishments, current projects and future bids.

��ý Civil Completes Replacement of First Rail Road Bridge of LIRR Expansion Project

��ý — Mon, 03 Jun 2019 16:37:11 +0000

The newly built bridge is a steel structure with a single span and three tracks. It is designed for a service life of 100 years. To avoid the disruption of weekday commuting, the replacement had to be completed over the weekend within 48 hours. Following a strict and tight schedule, the crew worked to take down the existing rail bridge carrying the LIRR’s tracks over Cherry Lane and replace it with a newly assembled one efficiently and on time.

Third Track Contractors, a partnership between ��ý Civil, Dragados USA, John P. Picone and Halmar International Construction, won the $1.8 billion LIRR Expansion project on Dec. 13, 2017. The project, from Floral Park in Queens to Hicksville on Long Island, is an important part of the $6 billion infrastructure improvement of New York’s Long Island Rail System. Considered the largest single-phase construction contract awarded by MTA, the project drew extensive attention from the New York government and locals. New York Deputy Gov. Kathy Hochul visited the project during construction to be with the team.

Initially built in 1834, LIRR has 126 stops in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and Long Island, providing transportation to the entire metropolitan area. Upon its completion, the commuting system of the Long Island area will be significantly improved and will stimulate growth of the regional economy.

The newly assembled rail bridge takes the place of the 66-year-old Cherry Lane bridge.

New Downtown Condominium Tower Greenwich West Tops Out On Manhattan’s Reinvented West Side Waterfront

��ý — Tue, 08 Jan 2019 15:22:58 +0000

Greenwich West is located at 110 Charlton Street in the flourishing Hudson Square neighborhood, which sits at the nexus of the West Village, Soho and Tribeca. The area, and all of Manhattan’s west side waterfront up to Hudson Yards, is currently in the midst of one of New York City’s biggest development booms, as illustrated by tech giant Google’s recent announcement to develop a New York campus in Hudson Square. This news came just months after Disney / ABC announced it would be moving its New York headquarters to the neighborhood, further showcasing the area’s transformation into a 24-7 live, work and play destination.

“This moment marks a major milestone for Greenwich West, and we’re proud to see the building take its place on the skyline,” said Phillip Gesue, Chief Officer of Development at Strategic Capital. “Plaza Construction has done an incredible job of bringing our team of Parisian designers’ vision to life and the building’s rapid progress is a direct result of their hard work and dedication.”

Greenwich West’s 170 light-filled residences range from studios to three-bedrooms, including a collection of penthouses. Each home has been meticulously designed to offer an open floorplan and loft-inspired layout as well as a bespoke feel. The tower’s graceful setbacks create substantial private terraces that capitalize on Greenwich West’s hallmark river views.

“The rapid topping out of Greenwich West is a testament to the extraordinary efforts of our entire team of talented, designers, builders, and contractors,” said Craig Wood, CEO of Cape Advisors. “The team’s commitment to this project is demonstrated by the attention to detail and aggressive schedule that has enabled us to stay on track for completion in early 2020. We couldn’t be prouder of the work that has been done, and are excited to further introduce Greenwich West to the market as it progresses.”

“Building Greenwich West and seeing it rise to distinction as a formidable, one-of-a-kind luxury residential condominium featuring an abundance of light and openness is a source of pride for Plaza Construction,” says Richard Wood, Chairman and CEO of Plaza Construction. “As the project completes it will add a touch of elegance as it graces the Manhattan waterfront.”

Architecture firms Loci Anima and Adamson Associates designed a striking handmade brick façade adorned with custom glazed brick accents and Art Deco-inspired curved corners, which lend a softness to the tower. Industrial-style casement windows — framed by elegant hand-laid brick patterns and custom brick borders — salute the neighborhood’s heritage. Interiors designed by Sebastien Segers Architects — known for his elegant details across private homes, spas, and boutiques for clients such as Giorgio Armani and Christian Dior — echo the gentle curves of the exterior architecture, including deep undulating window-sills topped with Carrara marble that invite interaction with the windows and views, and custom kitchen islands featuring crafted “marine-edge”

Carrara marble countertops. World renowned botanist and landscape artist Patrick Blanc has designed a signature vertical green wall for the building’s courtyard Viewing Garden.

Greenwich West is a rare Downtown building that includes a full array of amenities and services including a 24-hour attended lobby, onsite resident manager, porter and handyman staff. At the building’s crown is an amenity rooftop terrace with breathtaking city and water views as well as multiple lounge and seating areas.

Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group is the exclusive sales and marketing firm for Greenwich West. A sales gallery located at 435 Hudson Street is now open by appointment, and pricing for the building’s 170 loft-inspired residences ranges from $1,190,000 to $7,750,000.
