250W 55th Street, New York, NY

Client Objectives

The client was in need of a new office building with 960,000 square feet of office space at 250 West 55th St. in New York City. The new building would have a two-story horizontal base with a 660-foot-tall tower, making it 38 stories tall with ground-floor retail space. The client desired maximum daylight, air, and views for all floors and so sought out above-standard infrastructure and mechanical design and installation.

Heritage fast tracked all mechanical services while also keeping costs under budget. The building received LEED Gold Certification.
