One of New York’s Most Anticipated Condo Projects Opens its Doors
Leading construction management firm Urban Atelier Group (UAG) spearheaded preconstruction and construction management services for Olympia, a new 33-story condominium in Dumbo, Brooklyn. The 405,000-square-foot structure, developed by Fortis Property Group and designed by Hill West Architects, features 76 luxury residences and over 38,000 square feet of indoor-outdoor amenities.
Inspired by the maritime and industrial heritage of Dumbo's waterfront, the architecture resembles the sail of a ship. The unique structure cascades, twisting and turning within its shell, resulting in varying floor plates that necessitated a creative problem-solving approach for construction. The building's setbacks and terraces resulted in atypical slab edges and floor plates, requiring extensive surveying, coordination, and enhanced safety initiatives to ensure changes in concrete, window wall, and interior tolerances were accounted for and meticulously constructed.
