Work continues at 100 West 37th Street as foundation work prepares for the future 743-foot-tall tower in Midtown, Manhattan. The 68-story skyscraper will include over 384,000 SF of space and feature 300 condo units, 86,000 SF of commercial space, and two below-grade stories. More updates to come as the superstructure will soon begin to rise!

321 Harrison Avenue, just opened last year, is an 11-story life science building in Boston's South End. The design incorporates an existing three-story parking garage into the building footprint with an eight-story vertical addition containing the new laboratory and research space. The façade features a glass curtainwall and the building has an offset core allowing for uninterrupted, flexible, and collaborative floor plans instead of a typical mid-rise central core. Explore our life science portfolio here: https://lnkd.in/eCa53cGJ SMMA | BioMed Realty | The Richmond Group #creativetothecore #structuralengineering #structuralengineer #structuralengineers #structuraldesign #lifescience #lifesciencedesign #lab #labdesign #office #officedesign #boston #bostonrealestate
Situated in Boston’s South End, 321 Harrison Avenue is home to numerous leading-edge life science and biotech companies. The striking and symbolic building includes eight stories of lab, office, and retail space, with a vibrant lobby space connecting Harrison Ave and Washington St. If you look closely at the facade, you might notice a nod to the building’s address; light reflecting off the pleated curtainwall reveals the Roman numerals III, II, I. Inside, lab and office workers enjoy dramatic views of Boston’s skyline and connected workplaces, achieved by utilizing an offset core that allows for uninterrupted floorplates throughout the building. 🔗 Click below to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gkVDqHTU 🏗 GC: The Richmond Group #BostonArchitecture #BioTech #LifeScience

We were excited to celebrate the progress on the Bunker Hill Housing Redevelopment with the Charlestown Resident Alliance, Boston Housing Authority, and project team last week! The first building is now 65% complete and fully enclosed. A big thanks to the Charlestown community, elected leaders, and the hardworking construction crew (Suffolk Construction!) and design team (Stantec!) for their dedication and support. We look forward to welcoming the first families back home in December! https://lnkd.in/eqPtzNBz Copley Wolff Petersen Engineering Inc McNamara • Salvia, Structural Engineers Integrated Eco Strategy

The recent update at 1 Java Street in Brooklyn shows the progress of the two-tower development since our last update 🏗 The taller 37-story tower is still rising as the shorter, 20-story structure is topped out. There will be 834 units across both buildings with 30% of the units reserved for affordable housing. In addition to retail at the base of the development, there is an 18,000 SF esplanade along the East River built following the Waterfront Alliance’s Waterfront Edge Design Guidelines (WEDG). More updates to come as completion is estimated in late 2025!

Following up on our Vibration Group's recent analysis, we're excited to share the vibration response of a residential mass timber project. Referring to our previous post, https://lnkd.in/egj5swhm, the results below show the cross-laminated timber (CLT) floor subjected to walking at 90 steps per minute. Omer Tigli Ph.D, P.E., INCE explains the outcome in his post below! #creativetothecore #structuralengineering #structuraldesign #structuralengineer #structuralengineers #masstimber #clt #cltfloors #vibration #vibrationanalysis #vibrationresponse #vibrationconsulting #vibrationservices
Here's the #vibration response of a #CLT floor subjected to walking at 90 steps per minute. Various recommendations exist for acceptable vibration levels in #masstimber floors with regard to #humancomfort. Some recommendations are expressed in #acceleration units, while others use #velocity units. In this analysis, we processed the data to display the floor's performance in both metrics. The top right figure shows the acceleration data in its raw form and as a weighted root-mean-square (RMS) in percent of g (gravitational acceleration). The lower right figure presents the data in velocity units (micro-inches per second, or mips) as 1/3 octave band spectra. For context, U.S. Mass Timber Floor Vibration Guide published by WoodWorks recommends the following performance targets for residences and offices: Peak acceleration of 0.5 %g (equivalent to 0.35 %g RMS), or RMS velocity in the range of 16,000 mips to 32,000 mips. The peaks in the octave band spectra indicate a dominant floor #resonance (bay mode) at approximately 12Hz and a secondary resonance (panel mode) around 26Hz, both excited by walking. We have measured these #modeshapes and will share an animation of the experimental mode shapes in a future post. For details on the construction of the #CLT floor, please refer to our first post (see comments).
