At 12 stories and 205,500 sq. ft, the building is comprised of 188 apartments with 30% of the apartments reserved for previously ‘homeless’ individuals. The building design is concrete block with a precast concrete plank superstructure sitting on a poured-in-place concrete pedestal base. The exterior is a combination of architectural brick veneer with accents of aluminum composite metal paneling. Delta Precast compiled design computations for stairs, landings and connections as well as providing stamped New York PE drawings. The largest stair spanned a 16’-11/2” horizontal length in the building and is 3’-6 1/2” wide, weighing 9,674 pounds.
