770 House / 7th and Jackson Resiliency Park

OVERVIEW
Langan was part of a design and construction team completing the investigation, demolition, remediation and design of a two-city block redevelopment in northwest Hoboken. Our team implemented the design of a cloud-based outlet control into the stormwater management system for this project, which is located in a coastal city faced with the challenges of global climate change and the impacts of frequent localized flooding, as well as catastrophic-scale flooding issues.

The project includes a large, mixed-use residential building with 424 residential units, approximately 26,000 SF of commercial space, and a parking deck with 415 parking spaces for shared use by residents and the general public. The project also includes three major public areas: a brand new public gymnasium, a public park with open green spaces and a children’s play area, and a public plaza designed for public programming and activities.

Allergan Headquarters – Parking Garage

OVERVIEW
5 Giralda Farms is a 463,000-SF Class A commercial office building located within the beautiful Giralda Farms campus, which was formerly the estate of Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge. As part of the re-tenanting of the office building in 2016, Langan assisted the owner to plan, design and permit additional parking at the facility to meet the needs of the tenant, Allergan. We worked with the project team to plan and design a parking facility that fit within the unique character of the campus while protecting significant historical landscape features. To meet the strict sustainability requirements of the Giralda campus we included bioretention basins, swales and porous pavement measures, and designed a stormwater management system.

Barclays Center at Atlantic Yards

OVERVIEW
The Atlantic Yards project consists of the redevelopment of six city blocks in the Prospect Heights section of Brooklyn, NY and includes the Barclays Center, an entertainment center and new home arena of the Brooklyn Nets. Langan served as the geotechnical engineer for the arena and high-rise structures at the Vanderbilt Yard. In addition, Langan's site-specific seismic study resulted in a favorable seismic designation, thus avoiding unnecessary seismic detailing and connections, and more importantly, foundation ties – which saved millions of dollars.

Maxwell Place

OVERVIEW
The Maxwell Place development consists of a large, luxury residential waterfront development. Numerous industrial structures once occupied the project site, which was partially reclaimed from the Hudson River. The 12-story residential buildings, with a combined footprint area of about 170,000 SF, were constructed in three phases, along with associated below- and above-grade parking structures. The adaptation of the foundation systems to the highly variable subsurface conditions created substantial cost and schedule savings for the development/construction team. The project also included the first ever deep dynamic compaction improvement in the history of Hoboken.

Goya Foods Headquarters

OVERVIEW
The new headquarters consists of an approximately 615,000-SF warehouse on a 40-acre site. Langan provided site/civil, geotechnical, surveying, traffic engineering, landscape architecture, and natural resources permitting services. Our multi-disciplined approach greatly simplified a complex development process, thereby bringing great value to Goya. Additionally, Langan recommended a concrete modulus column subgrade improvement program, which was designed to support a high slab loading with a minimal settlement tolerance. This solution saved approximately $8 million as compared to a standard deep pile foundation.
