The Boerum is a mixed-use Brooklyn development combining luxury condominium residences with a Hilton-branded hotel under a single roof. Two distinct guest and resident experiences — each with its own operational standards, security profile, and finishes — sharing back-of-house infrastructure and a single building envelope.
The building was constructed directly above an active NYC MTA subway right-of-way — a foundation and structural condition that very few mid-sized GCs in the New York market have credibly delivered. During foundation work the team exposed the original subway tunnel roof and built the new structure to the loads anticipated by the 1929 hand-drawn subway plans — drawings that, by design, contemplated a building one day rising above the tunnel. Coordination with MTA, ConEd, DOB, FDNY, and Hilton brand standards ran in parallel from preconstruction through closeout — a level of stakeholder management that is the project itself.
