Van Vorst – Jersey City Mixed Use
McLaren provided structural engineering design, special inspections, and construction support for the project for two of Jersey City, New Jersey’s finest luxury units, Quinn and Lenox. The mixed-use residential buildings stand adjacent on the waterfront of downtown’s Paulus Hook neighborhood at 197 and 207 Van Vorst and are within walking distance of the NJ Transit Light Rail and PATH stations. Combined, the 16 story high-rises contain 408 residential units, 252 parking spaces, and a generous amount of retail space spanning 14,542 square feet.
Structural Innovation: Lenox & Quinn Buildings Redefine Urban Living
Lenox, 207 Van Vorst, integrates two distinct structure types, an innovative light gauge steel framing in an 11-story structure carried by a concrete transfer slab atop the 5-story concrete podium. This was engineered to support 254,000 square feet of residential space (255 rental units), 7,400 square feet of retail, and 9,700 square feet of amenity space, including a rooftop pool. This luxury building is supported by steel pipe bearing piles and offers five floors of automated parking, maximizing space, and convenience for tenants. McLaren also provided special inspections for concrete construction.
