Next week (October 31 to November 4), Contractors will finish excavating and loading out material. Concrete foundation walls and slab on grade work will conclude as well as underground electrical and plumbing work. DOT approved street connections to underground utilities on Fifth Avenue will progress. Superstructure work will continue at cellar, 1st, and 2nd floor levels.

The following week (November 7 to November 11), we will continue superstructure concrete and slabs. Street utility connection work will continue. A sidewalk shed will be erected around the perimeter of the site, subject to DOB approval, to protect pedestrians from superstructure work.

This weekend the site will be open on Saturday, October 29 for foundation and superstructure related activities between the work hours of 9AM and 5PM as permitted by the City. To control noise levels within the site, work activities will be limited to the placement of formwork, plumbing and electrical work, waterproofing and rebar for concrete placement and use of the crane and equipment to support all activities. We may pour a section of slab on grade concrete on Saturday. There will be no rock excavation or rock chopping.
