Description: This new mixed-use development is part of the Staten Island redevelopment and includes 725,000 sf of core and shell retail, 115,000 sf of hotel, and 460,000 sf of below-grade parking.  The vast area of this project posed many challenges for the MEP design because systems must be distributed over long distances so horizontally-based systems were used.  The six-story hotel uses a horizontal heat pump condenser water system and is designed to achieve LEED certification. The project also uses an above-ground electrical transformer station, rather than installing the vault beneath the sidewalk, requiring a more unique MEP design.
