WEST CANAL YARDS

WEST CANAL YARDS REDEVELOPMENT

The project involved selectively demolishing structures and asbestos abatement to transform an aging warehouse into a mixed-use facility. This included extensive work at the 1120 building, removal of interior elements like mezzanines, framed walls, ceilings, infrastructure, exterior fenestration, and roll-up doors. A 10,000 SF metal structure between preserved buildings required careful disassembly to maintain existing infrastructure. At the 1100 building, tasks included a 42,000 SF aluminum composite roof tear-off, interior flooring abatement, and tenant improvement demolitions. Salvaging 12, 28’ tall hollow-core tilt-up panels for reuse was a unique challenge that involved meticulous planning and safety measures.
