Boston, MA

The 20-story luxury residences being built adjacent to The Colonnade Hotel presented a myriad of logistical issues. The 35-foot-deep excavation was bounded on three sides by public roadways, and on the fourth by the access drive to the hotel garage. Pedestrian and driver safety were prerequisites, as was maintaining continuous traffic flow for the garage.

Beyond weekly strategy discussions with the contractor and the hotel staff, KVA provided guidance during design to adjust the configuration of the below-grade structure, assuring that construction proceeded with minimal disruption to this busy section of downtown Boston.
