Located in Manhattan, the redevelopment at 550 Washington has created a new commercial office building for Google. Comprising of approximately 1,000,000 sq.ft., a new nine-storey addition was built on top of a renovated existing three-storey podium structure. The original four-storey building was built in 1934.
Led by Dave Steel and Metropolitan Walters, we were responsible for the supply and install of the pre-cast core, structural steel and metal deck for the redevelopment of the existing building and new office atop.

550 Washington posed a number of challenges because the installation of new steel within the existing building required multiple surveys to ensure a smooth fit-up operation. An expedited effort was required by all teams to get the tower cranes set up and steel delivered on time to ensure schedules were maintained. Being responsible for both the pre-cast and structural steel installation, Metropolitan Walters were continually managing resources and cranes to ensure the building moved up tier by tier in an efficient manner.
