16 Sep Change Is So Award-Winning
CLIENT: Goldman Properties
PROJECT 25 Bond Street
COST: $27M
TIMEFRAME: 18 months
SERVICES PROVIDED: Construction Manager
The Situation:
Goldman Properties had begun construction at 25 Bond Street, an eight-story, loft-style building of luxury condominiums, situated on a cobblestoned street in Manhattan’s NOHO area. The building had several complex design influences including a hand-hammered Jerusalem limestone exterior, a distinguished 10-foot Venetian bronze tilt and slide glass window system façade, Italian Luondi doors, and other unique high-end finishes.
The Challenge:
The foundation was laid by a previous contractor who abandoned the project before completion leaving Goldman Properties exposed to uncertainty.
The Solution:
Applied construction management expertise.
The best way to overcome the obstacle of a contractor leaving in the middle of the project is through intelligent logistical planning, effective resource management, clear communication, and the development of reasonable action plans. Partnering side-by-side with the Goldman Properties management team, we assessed the situation, developed a new plan of action, and quickly brought the project under control. Daily site inspections and weekly reviews kept the project on a timely schedule, while maintaining high-quality workmanship that the building required.
The Result:
An award-winning project.
Completed to the first-class standards that its designers had envisioned—from the building’s superstructure and shell to the high-end interior finishes and details—25 Bond Street won the prestigious AIA Multi-Family Dwelling Award. And a trusted relationship formed with the Goldman Properties team that continues to this day.
