In order to consolidate staff from disparate locations throughout the city, Citigroup and design architect SOM opted to redevelop a new downtown campus at 388 / 390 Greenwich Street. The property includes two existing conjoined buildings comprising an entire city block. Dated precast and curtain wall facades differed at each of the two buildings; both were in need of repair and/or refurbishment.
The redevelopment effort included recladding of all facades at 390 Greenwich and the first 14 floors of 388’s East and West elevations with custom unitized curtain wall systems and new entrance lobby and retail storefronts. The curtain wall system design features: canted glass, projecting metal fins, and curved stainless steel spandrel cladding panels with a ‘linen’ finish. New work integrates seamlessly with refurbished existing building fabric at 388 Greenwich Street. The building has remained fully occupied during construction, adding to the logistical challenges of temporary enclosure and installation sequencing.
Heintges provided building envelope consulting services during all phases of design and construction, including NYC Special Inspections.
