- Owner: AVR Realty
- Total Square Footage: 301,000
- Construction Budget: $40,000,000
Aurora Contractors was the Construction Manager for this five-story retail and office
building located in Brooklyn, NY. The total retail and business space available
at the property is 235,000 square feet. The five stories consist of two underground
parking floors and three stories above grade for the retail and office space. The
site is in the middle of a block that is fully developed on either side of the building.
There is also an existing NYC Fire Station located in the middle of the project,
on the 14th Street side of the building. The Fire Station had to remain operational
throughout the course of construction, creating a unique construction situation.
The site conditions created numerous logistical issues, including the need for continual
dewatering of the site, intricate shoring plans and sheet piling to ensure the rapid
and safe construction of our project, while considering the effect on the neighboring
buildings. Our communication skills allowed the various agencies involved (NYC Building
Department, DOT, DEP, etc.) to expedite the issuance of key permits, including street
and sidewalk closures.
Due to Aurora’s involvement during the pre-construction phases of the project, we
were able to assist the Owner with numerous design criteria. This ultimately allowed
them to achieve the aesthetics they desired and maintain an ambitious construction
schedule. Aurora also assisted with the coordination of the tenant improvements,
lease negotiations and needs assessment.
