FEATURED PROJECT
595 DEAN ST (PACIFIC PARK)

595 Dean Street is a mix-used, multi-tower new building situated in Brooklyn, NY that totals nearly 1,000,000 square feet of reinforced cast-in-place concrete construction. The site consists of two seemingly separated towers, a massive, framed plaza area that surrounds and links the towers at the first floor (ground level), and three subgrade levels below. The 24-story and 29-story West & East residential towers are supported by a 9-story and 10-story podium respectively. The podium roofs provide public amenity terraces which include an outdoor swimming pool. The towers and podiums consist of a blended window wall, punch window, & brick façade. The framed plaza supports a fully landscaped, open public space which includes walkways, greenery, water features, amongst other features. Below the towers and plaza, three subgrade levels have been designed to accommodate a parking garage and a new Chelsea Piers’ locale - housing various amenities including an indoor swimming pool.
