This expansion adds 75,000 sq. ft. of new livable space, enhancing the building's capacity and offering modern, updated residences within the existing framework. The Swirnow Structures team worked closely with GCS Sigal to navigate the complexity of the project from conception to completion. SwirnowStructures.com

Mint & Morehead Charlotte, NC Developer - Aspen Heights Partners GC - Samet Corporation Architect - dwell design studio, llc Engineer - Ehlert Bryan Engineering Consulting Installer - Baker Concrete Constructors "It was our first time working with the system and the Swirnow team stepped up to provide total project support which was invaluable to the Hambro installation and overall project success." - Drew Bardeleben Samet Corporation "Dwell Design Studio is proud of our successful collaboration with Swirnow Structures' pre-construction team, where exceptional teamwork has fueled the design process of this project. Together, we've crafted an exceptionally efficient high-rise structure, turning our design vision into reality. We eagerly anticipate future opportunities to collaborate." - Jose A. Perez, AIA, Principal Dwell Design Studio, LLC "This was our third building using Hambro on prefabricated light gauge metal studs and we are extremely pleased with the results. With continuously rising material costs, Swirnow Structures maintained a cost-effective solution which ultimately helped keep the structure on budget. We look forward to working with them on future buildings." - Jay Lynde Aspen Heights Partners _____________________ Mint and Morehead, located in downtown Charlotte, NC is a 17-story building with 12 stories of Hambro composite joists bearing on pre-fabricated light gauge metal stud panels (348,000 sq. ft.) over 5 stories of poured-in-place concrete parking. The Hambro floor system presents a cost-effective alternative to traditional poured-in-place concrete construction, offering significant advantages in both speed of installation and structural efficiency. By utilizing Hambro bearing on prefabricated metal studs, buildings can be closed in as they are erected, accelerating the overall construction schedule. This allowed the installer to deliver a full floor of approximately 28,000 sq. ft. every 9 days. The innovative "strip and go" forming system allows reusable plywood forms to be stripped just 24 hours after the concrete pour without requiring shoring, this enables subcontractors to commence their work immediately following the pour. Furthermore, the Hambro system provides a lighter weight structural solution, with only half the dead-load of traditional poured-in-place structures, reducing foundation requirements and overall construction costs. The superior fire ratings of the Hambro system can eliminate the need for fire dampers, while its high STC rating negates the need for additional additives such as Batt insulation, resilient channels, etc. These features collectively contribute to a more efficient, cost-effective, and faster construction process, making Hambro an optimal choice for a variety of project types.
