Scope Of Work

This prestigious 42 story residential tower project, located in New York’s prominent Midtown, only minutes away from Madison Square Park and Union Square, fascinates with a unique and modern appearance on the outside, while providing world-class amenities and services such as a rooftop terrace, indoor pool and fitness center to residents on the inside. Two trapezoidal shaped towers elevate up to 476 feet into Manhattan’s sky, complimented by two pavilion towers, endowing the condominiums with an unobstructed 360 degree view of the city, including the Empire state building. 

PERI took on the complex requirements resulting from this project with a range of systems; a combination of the RCS Rail Climbing System with the brand-new LPS Light Protection Screen, allowed for the creation of a safe perimeter around the building, thus satisfying the strict safety standards mandated by the construction manager.

PERI VARIO was used on the outside and close up forms were wood forms owned by the contractor. MULTIPROP props were used for reshoring the slabs. The cycle times of this project were four days at the beginning of construction and then three days for most of the building. Towards the top of the building it decreased to two days.
