79 Walker Street is a 6-story store and loft building constructed in 1869 for the rapidly expanding of the neighborhood’s textile trade. When completed, the building was occupied by manufacturing lofts, followed by a pocketbook manufacturer in the early 1900’s, hardware manufacturing and- most recently- an art gallery.

The developers retained Altera Engineering to support their ambitious conversion to a modern office catering to New York city’s tech and startup firms.

Altera Engineering provided MEP engineering design and approval services, working closely with architects and owners to upgrade building’s infrastructure and integrate state-of-the-art mechanical systems into the existing historic shell.</p>
