In the heart of Newburgh, NY, the East End Lofts project stands as a testament to innovation and craftsmanship. This new 66 unit mixed-income housing development with business space, required a durable, aesthetically pleasing retaining wall solution that could seamlessly integrate with the urban landscape and infrastructure. The choice was clear: Cornerstone 100, renowned for its performance on engineered structures, provided the perfect solution.
The Perfect Choice for Commercial Contractors
Mac-testa Contracting Corporation, known for their expertise in excavation, opted for Cornerstone 100 retaining wall block in West Mountain color because of its unmatched ease of installation and blending with the existing landscape. The absence of pins simplifies the process, making it a preferred choice among contractors. Over 10 million square feet of this product have been installed to date, reinforcing its reliability and popularity within the industry.
Engineering Excellence
The engineering brilliance of Reuther + Bowen played a pivotal role in this project. The two-tiered, terraced wall approach required meticulous planning and execution. With a maximum wall height of approximately 14 feet, stability was paramount. The integration of GeoGrid stabilization ensured that the structure could withstand the test of time, providing a secure foundation for the East End Lofts.
A Collaborative Effort
Central Supply, a trusted partner to LibertyStone in providing high-quality materials, ensured that the project had access to the best resources. The collaboration between Central Supply, Mac-testa, and Reuther + Bowen exemplifies the synergy needed to achieve outstanding results.
