Hoxton Hotel - Downtown Los Angeles, CA
Project Oversight
- Client: Ennismore
- Project Type: Hotel – Adaptive Reuse High Rise
- Project Size: 110,000SF
- Construction Duration: 24 months – 2017 – 2019
- Architect: GREC Architects
- Project Position: Project Manager
- Project Description: This project focused on renovating an existing 10 story high rise in Downtown Los Angeles, originally constructed in 1919 as the former Los Angeles Railway Headquarters. The project fell under LADBS's Adaptive Reuse classification which was a subdivision of the LA Building Code focused on revitalizing the greater Downtown Los Angeles Area. To learn more about Los Angeles's Adaptive Reuse code, visit here. In summary, this required bringing the building up to existing Seismic and Fire Life Safety Building Codes. The entire building was initially gutted down to exterior walls, interior columns & floor slabs. An additional MEP penthouse story was added to the structure to house a 16,000lb chiller, rooftop equipment and (3) new elevator machines. A new rooftop pool was added and the existing rooftop structure was strengthened to accept live loads as well as the new penthouse. Elevator modernizations were required on (2) existing shafts/elevator cars and a new gurney elevator cab and shaft was constructed which required the alley side of the existing building to be demolished going up 10 stories. All (3) elevator shafts were raised up (1) floor to the new machine room. All windows on the building were replaced and the entire exterior brick façade and terra cotta tiling/stone work was also restored. These scopes of work meant scaffolding went up to 150' in the air and was phased to keep foot traffic and construction traffic in motion at all portions of the project timeline. The project also included building 174 boutique style hotel rooms, (2) restaurants with a future 3rd on the way, (3) kitchens, (4) bars and a coffee bar.
Joey Restaurant - Manhattan Beach, CA
Project Oversight
- Client: Joey Restaurant Group
- Project Type: Hospitality – Restaurant – Tenant Fit-out
- Project Size: 9,400SF
- Construction Duration: 6 months (COVID pause) – August 2019 – August 2020
- Architect: Architects Design Consortium
- Project Position: Hybrid Lead Project Manager & Superintendent
- Project Description: This project was built as a tenant fit-out of an existing core-shell built by separate General Contractor. The project faced unique challenges as the build was halfway under construction when the 1st wave of COVID shutdowns occurred. This caused the project to be put on pause for 5 months. Our team worked closely with the Joey team to ensure that procurement items continued to progress throughout the COVID pause which allowed us to hit the ground running once construction commenced. The project includes a floating millwork beam ceiling throughout the front-of-house seating areas which required significant structural & MEP coordination, a bar with retractable ceiling TV’s that rise above the millwork canopy and an exterior patio area that includes automated retractable roof assemblies and a manual Sunflex Horizontal Sliding Wall which required steel/concrete coordination down to 1/16”. The space also includes a loading dock and 2,500sf display kitchen. As part of the preconstruction planning, our team visited the Joey Restaurant Group headquarters in Vancouver, Canada. We with Joey vendors at their shops as well as in-person meetings with Joey Executive Team Members . Our team also toured existing Joey Restaurants & properties around Vancouver to further understand the client's expectations.
Apple Renovation - Union Square, San Francisco, CA
Project Oversight
- Client: Apple, Inc.
- Project Type: Retail - Renovation
- Project Size: 13,500SF
- Construction Duration: 5 months 2021 - 2022
- Architect: CRTKL
- Project Position: Senior Project Manager
- Project Description: This was a renovation project where our team was tasked with demolishing 13,500sf of existing damaged terrazzo floors, sub-floor build-up, all in-floor MEPs. This was to be replaced with new 3'x5'x2-3cm thick, 300lb granite slab flooring as well as new in-floor MEPs for a new retail layout, all while the store remained open and operating. With this being one of Apple’s key flagship stores worldwide and being located so close to the headquarters in Cupertino, CA., this renovation was no small or easy task. Our team had to create unique methods of demolition and trash removal as well as have the store in a cleaned up ‘ready to open’ fashion at the end of every shift. The project had multiple phases to ensure Apples expectations of operating an open store were met. The project was extremely challenging due to unforeseen structural conditions which required our team to pivot on the spot to different tactics/methods to ensure progress moved forward. Even with there being material quality challenges with the stone arriving from out-of-country, our team was able to expedite the project in the final phase and achieve the original turnover prior to Black Friday, 2021. The project continued into 2022 with additional small changes throughout the store.
Legal Sea Foods - Northshore Mall, Peabody, MA
Project Oversight
- Client: Legal Sea Foods
- Project Type: Restaurant – Renovation
- Project Size: 8,000SF
- Construction Duration: 2 months – 2016
- Architect: The Johnson Studio
- Project Position: Project Manager
- Project Description: This was a fast paced, in-depth renovation of the original Legal Sea Foods restaurant. With only 8wks of construction, our team was able to demolish all the existing interior finishes, relocate and build a brand new bar plus floating shelves, install new millwork seating throughout and install new hand-painted tile flooring that required 1wk cure installation time alone. The renovation also included upgrading portions of the kitchen. The project required major schedule strategizing and usage of pre-construction time for procurement to ensure the restaurant was closed for the shortest duration possible
