21-story Co-op building Facade Recladding and Roofing, approximately 100,00 sf.

THE CHALLENGE

201 East 79th street was originally constructed in the early 1960’s with a classic white glazed brick façade. The selected glazed brick façade material’s lifespan was about 50 years. In recent years 201 East 79th Street’s façade started to deteriorate and the condition of backup CMU blocks required substantial renovation.

THE STRATEGY

CMU blocks were partially repaired, parged and partially replaced. All of them were newly waterproofed. New insulation was added.

THE OUTCOME

MCT Group NJ knows how to rejuvenate building without tearing them down.
