Project Scope:
The project scope included complete reconstruction of all apartments in the two identical tower buildings. The apartments were renovated and reconfigured by reducing the total number of studio and one bedroom apartments into a 192 unit spread, between, the two tower buildings. The entire construction was completed with the building occupied. By slightly reducing the overall facility occupancy in anticipation of the construction project, the Owner was able to turn over three to four floors at a time to the contractor. The design likewise had to accommodate a phased construction and commissioning schedule.
Summary:
