 CNY ANNOUNCES MILESTONE AT CROSSING AT JAMAICA STATION MIXED-USE PROJECT IN QUEENS

 

2,500 Cubic Yards of Concrete Poured Over 16 Hours on December 15 and 16

 New York, NY – December 19, 2017 – CNY, acting on behalf of developers BRP Companies and Goldman Sachs, today announced a milestone that took place on Friday evening into Saturday morning, December 15th and 16th, at The Crossing at Jamaica Station:  a concrete pour for foundations of the Queens project’s 30-story residential high rise and slab on grade for 25,000 square feet of ground floor retail. This transit-oriented development (TOD) located at Archer Avenue and Sutphin Boulevard, is heralded as an important part of Greater Jamaica’s revitalization. CNY is providing Construction Management at Risk services for the project. During the 16-hour event, approximately 2,500 cubic yards of concrete were poured, delivered by 280 trucks dispatched from two Queens-based plants, City Transit and Casa.  Six chutes were set up on 147th and 148th Streets with two pump trucks positioned on both the west and east sides of

the site. “This pour marks a significant progression in construction,” said Dennis Prude, Executive Vice President, Field Operations of CNY Group, “as it sets the stage for erection of a giant tower crane that will be situated onsite in about ten weeks’ time.  Complicating the pour, is that it took place in a 24/7 busy urban environment—it is literally adjacent to an active parking garage, multiple retail stores, and between the LIRR and three MTA subway lines.” To ensure safety and oversight, BRP Companies and CNY are worked closely with local authorities and entities to gain their support and assistance during the process, including the FDNY, police and the Community Board. A superblock development, The Crossing at Jamaica Station features a 30-story, 539-unit rental high rise, and a 14-story, 140-unit affordable housing mid-rise, parking for 176 vehicles and 25,000 square feet of ground floor retail.  Designed by FXFOWLE Architects, the project is seeking to achieve a minimum LEED Silver certification.  CNY is engaging MWBE trades which, in turn, will hire locally-based workers.  . About CNYCNY is a market-focused, client-driven leader and innovator in open shop construction of large-scale and high-rise developments, complex reconstruction and repurposing of buildings, and build-outs of sustainable and uniquely designed spaces.
