Battery Park Façade Restoration

Scope

The Milford Properties consist of a cluster of high-rise apartments, nestled in the heart of Battery Park. Constructed in the 1980s, these brick façade buildings complement the vibrant Hudson River waterfront and offer the ultimate in luxury living. Several Milford properties totaling over 1,000 units, including 99 Battery, 200 Rector, and 380 Rector were in need of façade repair. Milford Management engaged the EDG team to perform façade inspections, prepare repair documentation, perform construction administration, and conduct Local Law 11 reporting.

Approach

As part of the New York City Local Law 11 façade inspection, EDG surveyed, inspected, and designed building-specific façade repairs for each high-rise structure, ranging from 25 to 44 stories tall. The maintenance and repair campaigns consisted of scaffold drops, coordinated rigging, identification of all deleterious conditions, and preparing plans and construction documents for contractor bidding and repair work. EDG managed and observed all work, from start through completion of each project.

Impact

Due to the waterfront location, EDG assessed leaking and replaced the existing sealant with modern materials to prevent water infiltration. Working hand-in-hand with Milford Management staff, our team provided recommendations for repair, construction schedules, and cost estimates for budgeting. EDG worked diligently to address concerns and streamline the project with the client and contractor, handling weather-related challenges and on-site conditions with minimal disruption to the tenants. Projects were completed on time and under budget.
