Narrative
Facade work ran from boom lift on a live urban corner: metal panel, soffits, and storefront surrounds coated in sequence with the envelope trades, around traffic signals, sidewalk protection, and pedestrian routing.
Inside, 220 units ran as a production cycle — one crew rhythm repeated stack by stack so every unit lands on the same finish standard rather than drifting floor to floor.
Corridors, amenity spaces, and stair towers followed behind the unit crews. Hollow-metal frames and stair steel were finished direct-to-metal after hardware set.
Everything was sequenced against the GC's turnover schedule so floors released for flooring and final clean without paint holding the line.
