As the Construction Manager of the Kings Highway five-story retail and office building with two underground parking garages, Aurora was able to partner closely with the owner during pre-construction. Our experience and strategic thinking allowed us to deliver the aesthetics the owner desired on an aggressive construction schedule. Features of the build included:
- Three level above-grade precast parking garage with 300 spaces, automated ticketing and a partially enclosed roof structure
- Garage features two entrances in a heavily congested area
- Aurora managed communications with various agencies including NYC Building Department, DOT, DEP, Con Ed, etc. to expedite key permits, and street and sidewalk closures
- Crane operation, and heavy construction along sidewalks
- Continual dewatering on site
- Intricate shoring plans and sheet piling were used to ensure rapid and safe construction
- Project also included a 235,000 SF mixed-use building with a below grade parking garage
- Second parking garage was 2 floors below grade with 45,000 SF of parking
- Steel structure with cast-in-place walls and floors below 3 floors of mixed-use space
- Construction posed no negative effect on the neighboring buildings including a NYC Fire Station that remained open during construction
- Projects completed on schedule
