Thank you to the New York Building Congress for having Pavarini McGovern and STO Building Group in the room to discuss our monumental 25 Water Street project! Stephen D., our BIM/VDC Manager, and Robert Leon, Chief Innovation Officer for STOBG, shared insights on the innovative methods and technology used for this 32-story office-to-residential conversion, which will create 1,300 rental units. Exciting times ahead with more conversions on the horizon! #Innovation #ResidentialConversion #BuildingExcellence #Repositioning #BIM #VDC #STOBuildingGroup #PavariniMcGovern
This morning, our Council on Innovation and Best Practices had the pleasure of listening to a case study on Pavarini McGovern’s office-to-residential conversion at 25 Water Street, hosted by Council Co-Chairs Jim Dray, Principal & Chief Information Officer at Thornton Tomasetti, Luc Wilson, Global Director of Design Technology at Kohn Pederson Fox Associates, PC, and Robert Leon, Chief Innovation Officer at STO Building Group. Guest speaker Stephen D., BIM/VDC Department Manager at Pavarini McGovern, who oversaw the project, walked the Council through the innovative methods and technological programs his team used on the first of its kind, 32-Story building which will create 1,300 rental units. With more residential conversions in the pipeline, this was a crucial opportunity for members to learn how best to approach projects of this nature.
