Cambridge, MA

Park 151

Scope/Solutions

Cambridge Crossing is a forty-three-acre, mixed-use development with nearly twenty-five percent of the site designated as outdoor community areas. Parcel I includes a high-rise residential building at 151 North First Street, low-rise retail buildings, and open green space. SGH consulted on the building enclosure design for Park 151, the residential tower that houses 468 apartments in the upper twenty stories, ground-floor retail, and three below-grade parking levels. We also provided building enclosure commissioning services for the project.

SGH consulted on the design, commissioning, and construction of roofing assemblies; exterior walls; punched windows; and below-grade, podium, and balcony waterproofing. Highlights of our work include:

  • Helping develop details for the various exterior wall and fenestration assemblies, including precast concrete wall panels, metal panel rainscreen, punched windows, and curtain walls
  • Assisting with the design for below-grade sheet waterproofing for the foundation
  • Consulting on the design of roofing and podium waterproofing for the two amenity decks
  • Visiting the window manufacturing facility to observe their fabrication and quality control procedures
  • Providing construction phase services, including reviewing contractor submittals, visiting the site to observe ongoing construction, witnessing field testing on completed building enclosure assemblies, and helping address field conditions
