What's your favorite building in NYC? One of mine played an interesting role in the history of zoning in New York. The 38-story Equitable Building was the largest office building in the world when it opened in 1915. The bulkiness of the building inspired the 1916 zoning ordinance, which introduced new setback requirements. The design of subsequent skyscrapers like the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building are the result of that ordinance. #zoning #architecture #realestate #commercialrealestate #nyc

It's great to see this article about the approval of our plans for Derby's Friar Gate Goods Yard in Architects’ Journal. Adam McPartland, Director of Glancy Nicholls Architects, said: “We are overjoyed that the required funds can now be invested into saving these distressed 150-year-old listed buildings. Glancy Nicholls Architects has proudly brought its expertise in restoration and retrofit design to visualise the sustainable future of two of Derby city centre’s most notable historic structures.   “From the outset, the overarching brief from Wavensmere Homes was for a huge emphasis to be placed on exemplary placemaking. By having a mix of commercial uses within the two buildings – and opening the inaccessible site up to create a series of new linear parks – hundreds of people will be able to appreciate these heritage assets on a daily basis.   “The designs for the 227 two- and three-bedroom townhouses that will surround the two listed buildings are bespoke. Curved and terraced street scenes will celebrate the beauty and vista of the Bonded Warehouse, while incorporating a range of energy saving technologies and strategies. "A four-storey apartment building containing 49 apartments will also reinstate the lost streetscape of the Stafford Street frontage. The highest EPC rating of A is being targeted for the new houses, with all plots designed to be future-proofed ahead of the 2025 Future Homes Standard.” Read Anna Highfield's article here: https://lnkd.in/e4FRthwd

Need a faster work permit to kickstart your project in NYC? We’re currently transforming a beautiful brownstone in Park Slope with vertical and horizontal enlargements, and our client needs to move quickly. By strategically dividing the applications, we submitted the demolition plans separately from the typically time-consuming Alteration CO (formerly Alt I). This allows our client to start working while we secure the remaining permits. While this approach does involve additional costs for expediting, extra plans, and DOB filing fees, it’s a tailored solution that requires cost analysis on a case-by-case basis. With high interest rates and tight profit margins, what strategies have you used to stay ahead? #NYC #Zoning #RealEstate #Brooklyn #Brownstone #Construction #Residential #Multifamily #architecture

Assembly of floor cassettes is becoming increasingly popular as a streamlined method for constructing flooring in timber framed structures – ranging from single-family homes to multi-story residential buildings up to three levels and beyond. These panels are meticulously manufactured in a factory, consisting of a network of interconnected floor joists that are seamlessly joined using "trimmers" or end-joists to create a robust load-bearing component in the floor assembly process. Once on-site, expect nothing less than a swift installation, saving valuable time and resources. Embrace streamlined construction processes to accelerate project timelines and enhance cost efficiency. ✅💡 #PanelizedConstruction #PrefabConstruction #Construction #Halifax #Dartmouth #Lunenburg #Sydney #NovaScotia #Canada #HalifaxNoise #WeBuildCommunity #WeBuildSolid

🏢 140+ Years of Reinforced Concrete History in One City 🌆 Two icons, one city. The Coignet Building, a pioneer and the oldest of its kind in New York, stands as a testament to the beginnings of reinforced concrete construction. Over 150 years ago, this historic structure in Brooklyn marked the dawn of a new era in building materials and techniques. Fast forward to the present day, and we witness the awe-inspiring One World Trade Center, not only the tallest in New York but across the entire United States. Its soaring height symbolizes architectural prowess and resilience, embodying a city's spirit. From the Coignet Building's early experiments to One World Trade Center's modern marvel, these two structures tell a compelling story of innovation, progress, and the evolution of construction techniques over more than a century. 📸 Let's marvel at the rich history and innovation encapsulated within these concrete giants that shape our skyline and continue to inspire generations of builders and architects. #ConcreteConstruction #ArchitecturalInnovation #NYCIcons #HistoricBuildings #ModernMarvels #ReinforcedConcreteHistory #RebarDetailing

In my office, I have a beautiful picture of Grand Central Station (pictured below). It’s stunning, the way: ➪ the light hits the floor ➪ the arches loom over the hallway ➪ people felt so small yet significant walking through It’s a great piece of American architecture. Building a presence on LinkedIn that benefits your law practice is like building a piece of exquisite architecture. You have to build it with: ↳ intentionality ↳ a grand vision ↳ brick by brick ↳ the journey in mind Do this, and you’ll create a masterpiece.  What's your brick?
