The 19-story, 126-unit affordable housing high-rise at 41 LaGrange Street features a cast-in-place concrete structure with two cores—one housing elevators and stairs, the other stairs only. Designed with various envelope assemblies, including precast panels, metal cladding, punched windows, and curtainwall on the lower levels, the building balances durability and modern aesthetics.
This studio, one-, and two-bedroom residence incorporates advanced mechanical systems, including Electric VRF HVAC, rooftop emergency power, and a ground-level fire pump, all supported by strategically placed electrical vaults. Constructed on a tight, logistically complex site, the project used a tower crane within the building footprint, a double man and material hoist, and a carefully coordinated delivery schedule to mitigate risks and maintain workflow efficiency.
