- 144 WEST STREET, GREENPOINT, BROOKLYN
A new 25-unit luxury rental building on Greenpoint’s waterfront. The project contains a total of 13 studios, 10 one-bedrooms, and a pair of two-bedroom units. The building does not use natural gas or any other fuel for heating. The building is cooled and heated with a variable-refrigerant flow system in lieu of more conventional gas-fired boilers. Hot water for domestic use is generated via refrigerant-based heat pump water heaters. Not relying on gas for heating approach will save 150 metric tons of Carbon Dioxide emissions.

SCOPE . full MEP/FP design and construction administration services Go 42 SHARON STREET, BROOKLYN A ground up construction of a single family home in Brooklyn. Altera Engineering was retained as a project’s MEP engineer in part because the building’s complex interior geometry required a thoughtful approach that most small MEP firms lack. 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 fuel free heating are expected to save 15 metric tons of Carbon Dioxide emissions on an annual basis. Altera Engineering efficiently and successfully secured utility connection approvals and assisted the client in resolving filing and approval issues.
- ROCHESTER SUYDAM NIHOP
In 2017 the Department of Housing Preservation (HPD’s) identified 87 vacant lots to be included into its New Infill Homeownership Opportunity Program (NIHOP). NIHOP seeks to promote mixed-income communities with affordable homeownership opportunities for moderate- and middle-income households earning up to 80-90 and up to 130 percent of Area Median Income (AMI). The program provides land and construction financing to qualified developers with the goal to build affordable condominiums for working families in low income neighborhoods. The agency’s goal is to spur neighborhood revitalization directly through infill of vacant lots and indirectly through creation of opportunities to own property in the areas where homeownership is beyond the reach of many residents. Altera Engineering is proud to be involved with a number of NIHOP projects. One of them- Rochester Suydam- consists of 3 clusters of 7 new buildings along Herkimer Street, Rochester, and Ralph Avenues in the Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn. The 7 buildings contain a combined total of 66 one- and two-bedroom apartments with a combined project size of 66,336 square feet. All the buildings within the NIHOP program are designed to a higher energy performance criterion than required by 2016 New York city Energy Conservation Code. Although the 66 units vary in layouts and sizes, all are provided with state-of-the-art central air HVAC and smart thermostats, thermally broken windows, Energy Star appliances, WaterSense plumbing fixtures, and LED lights with occupancy and daytime dimming controls. One of the biggest challenges for the design team was the budget. Because of HPD funding limits, each apartment had to be built for less than $ 70,000. Altera Engineering worked hand-in-hand with architect, sustainability consultant, developer, and vendors to carefully size and select MEP equipment while meeting energy efficiency and comfort goals of the project. Cooling and heating systems include residential single-zone ducted mini split systems, gas-fired condensing domestic water heaters. Fresh air is introduced into each apartment via energy recovery ventilators. Home / Multifamily ROCHESTER SUYDAM NIHOP ARCHITECT . PROJECT SIZE . PROJECT COST . SCOPE .

- 31 LISPENARD
31 Lispenard Street is a modern condominium development in Tribeca, a trendy and historic area of Lower Manhattan known for its cast-iron buildings and upscale vibe. Development Overview: This is a new condo project by Urban Standard Development, a company specializing in ground-up construction and renovations. The building replaces an older one-story mixed-use structure from 1947 that had five units, two of which were residential. Building Specifications: Height and Units: A seven-story building standing 89 feet tall, with 5 residential units. Size: Total area of 12,603 square feet, including 10,362 square feet of residential space and 1,031 square feet of ground-floor retail. Design: Features a sleek, contemporary look with a conventional storefront and arched windows on the residential floors, blending modern gloss with Tribeca’s brick aesthetic. The architect is GF55 Partners, known for similar urban projects. Status: Full demolition permits were filed by 2018 for the prior structure, and by 2019, plans were presented to the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) for approval, given Tribeca’s historic district status. Renderings of both interior and exterior were unveiled around then. As of March 2025, it’s likely completed or nearing completion, though I don’t have real-time confirmation. No offering plan was filed by 2019, but Tribeca’s median condo price ($4.5 million) suggests these units would be high-end. Location Details: Address: Corner of Lispenard Street and Church Street, in the heart of Tribeca. Neighborhood: Tribeca (Triangle Below Canal Street) is famous for its loft-style homes, cobblestone streets, and proximity to SoHo. It’s a hub for art, dining, and luxury living. Nearby: Steps from Canal Street, the Canal Street Market, and transit options like the Canal Street subway station (A, C, E, 1 trains). Cultural spots like the Tribeca Film Institute are also close. Historical Note: Lispenard Street is named after Anthony Lispenard, who owned the land in the 18th century. The area evolved from meadows to a 19th-century trade hub, and now a chic residential zone. Additional Context The original building at this address was a modest 17-foot-tall structure owned by Peter Matera of Urban Standard Capital before its demolition. The new development reflects Tribeca’s ongoing transformation, balancing preservation (via LPC oversight) with modern luxury. Home / Multifamily 31 LISPENARD ARCHITECT . PROJECT SIZE . PROJECT COST .
