The Kingsborough Houses campus in Brooklyn includes 16 low‑rise residential buildings and the 24‑story Kingsborough Extension senior building. As part of a NYCHA task‑order contract, STV provided construction management‑as‑agent services for a wide‑ranging exterior renovation program designed to improve safety, durability and quality of life for residents at one of New York City’s busiest public housing developments. STV coordinated all phases of construction, ensuring work progressed efficiently while minimizing disruption to daily life across the large, occupied campus.
What challenges did STV address?
The site presented significant logistical challenges due to its size, daily foot traffic, aging exterior conditions and the need to maintain safe access for residents throughout construction. Coordinating improvements across multiple buildings required careful phasing and communication, especially when working on essential elements such as parapets, roofs and masonry repairs.
What solutions did STV deliver?
STV oversaw façade repairs, asbestos abatement, brick replacement, repointing, parapet reconstruction and comprehensive reroofing. The team also oversaw the installation of a new water tank at the Kingsborough Extension and implemented a phased construction strategy that enabled simultaneous work on several buildings. This approach accelerated delivery and reduced overall impacts on residents.
How does this project benefit the community?
The renovation program improves building safety, weather resilience and long‑term performance across the entire Kingsborough campus. Residents benefit from restored masonry, renewed roofing systems and safer exterior conditions, all delivered ahead of schedule and under budget.
