Industry City (originally known as Bush Terminal) is a 16-building, 6 million square foot industrial complex in Sunset Park, Brooklyn that was founded in 1895 by Irving T. Bush. The twelve manufacturing buildings had been completed by 1918 and housed about 300 companies. For over eighty years, the complex served as one of the largest integrated cargo and manufacturing sites in the word. At its peak during the industrial height of the early 20th Century, nearly 25,000 workers went to work at the complex every day. Until 1974 Bush Terminal was an active port facility. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Bush Terminal housed the highest concentration of garment manufacturers in New York City outside of Manhattan. Today the complex is home to a wide range of tenants including 3-D printer maker Makerbot and the Brooklyn Nets. Altera Engineering was retained to provide engineering design and consulting services for Alexis Bittar’s new facility. Altera Engineering's team was brought in at an early stage of the process, during lease negotiations, to assist the architect and the client in formulating and developing a strategy that meets current and growing production needs. The project involved a full floor gut renovation. The design incorporates mechanical ventilation system for jewelry making process and robust power distribution to all production work stations.

Development in the Riverside-West End Historic District Extension I went through several phases in the years between the 1880s and 1930s. The earliest phase between roughly 1885 and 1900 saw the construction of speculatively built row houses and flats for the middle and upper classes. By the turn of the century, developers began to focus on constructing larger apartment buildings as increasing construction costs ended row house construction, and the newly opened IRT on Broadway made the Upper West Side more accessible to the city’s expanding population. Legislation such as the 1901 Tenement House Act, the 1916 zoning ordinance, and the 1929 Multiple Dwelling Law contributed to the transformation in the scale of the streetscapes of West End Avenue, Riverside Drive, and West 79th and West 86th Streets where row houses and smaller buildings were replaced by newer, larger buildings.[1] 309-311 West 86th Street was commissioned as a hotel in 1912 by Weymer Hinckley Waitt- a railroad engineer turned hotelier, whose company later built the Weylin Hotel on Madison Avenue. The 12-story 40,000 square foot building was designed by Schwartz Gross and completed in October of 1914 at a cost of $250,000. Originally known as Hotel Wayne until 1953 when it was converted into the Waldorf Nursing Home. In 1962 it became a residence club for senior citizens. Following interior alterations in 1979 the building was reconverted into apartments and became a co-op known as Stetson House. In 1984 John F Kennedy Jr. and Robert Littell moved in together into a 2-bedroom sublet at 309 West 86th Street. 309 West 86th Street is one of several Altera Engineering projects along the historic West End Avenue.

About 4,500 SF PROJECT COST . $3 million SCOPE . full MEP design and construction administration services Go 138 NORTH 1ST STREET, BROOKLYN, NY A ground up construction of a luxury single family home in Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn. An inaugural project for a nascent developer required careful attention to detail. Altera Engineering worked hand in hand with the architect and developer to craft solutions that worked with the owner’s vision for the building. Altera Engineering efficiently and successfully secured utility connection approvals and assisted the client in resolving filing and approval issues. Altera Engineering consulted the owner on high performance building strategies, such as passive heating and cooling, insulation and envelope air-tightness, intelligent lighting controls, highly efficient domestic water heating and continuous ventilation with energy recovery. With the exception of domestic water heating, the building does not use natural gas or any other fuel for heating, and is cooled and heated with a variable-refrigerant flow system. Highly insulated envelope, and not relying on gas for heating are expected to save 20 metric tons of Carbon Dioxide emissions on an annual basis.

915 West End Avenue is a 120,000 SF 15-story multifamily building commissioned by a prolific upper west side builder Joseph Paterno (whose initials were inscribed above the entrance), designed by Rosario Candela and completed in 1922 at a cost of approximately $625,000. The building was designed in Renaissance Revival style, and is laid out as two wings around a central core with outer court. Boiler room, laundry facility, oil tank, and incoming services are located in the basement. Lobby and 94 apartments are located on floors 1 through 15. In 2015 the building was included into Riverside-West End Historic District Extension II, and is subject to certain Landmarks restrictions. Following the $ 85.5 million acquisition by a group of investors, Altera Engineering was retained to evaluate the existing heating, plumbing, gas and power distribution systems. Our engineers worked closely with the owner’s architects and marketing team to identify and carry out short payback upgrades to support the investors’ conversion and repositioning program to the ‘best-in-class’ multifamily rental. 915 West End Avenue is one of several Altera Engineering projects along the historic West End Avenue 347 West End and 309 West 86th Street.

Due to the low budget for the MEP systems, Altera engineers were challenged with finding efficient solutions using older technologies. The client opted to save money on the cooling system by selecting packaged through wall air conditioning units (PTACs). As a result, the only opportunity to improve efficiency lay in the building’s heating system. High efficiency condensing boilers were specified. To achieve operational efficiencies, the team implemented thoughtful zoning of the hydronic distribution based on façade exposures, allowing water temperatures and hot water supply to adjust in real time according to demand. All apartments were equipped with smart thermostats wired into an addressable network, enabling the operator to monitor, control, override, and track energy use at a granular level.

Go Go 2 Bushwick Avenue is a 14,000 SF ground up retail and office building being constructed on a site of a former gas station and auto repair shop. The corner site sits in a prime location of a rapidly gentrifying creative hipster mecca. The developers were interested in attracting local nascent businesses by creating affordable flexible spaces. Before commencing with design, Altera Engineering engaged with the owners and architects in the programming phase, to understand how the property will be positioned in the market and who will be the target tenants. The early-phase involvement informed the selection of suitable MEP systems. With careful system selection and sizing, the design team was able to strike a balance between considerations for the first cost, ease-of-use, flexibility and “curb” appeal to prospective tenants.
