56 Leonard construction resumed in late 2012
|
With foundation construction now complete at 56 Leonard Street, final utility vault work is planned for the Leonard Street roadway, between Church and West Broadway. In order for Con Edison crews to install pre-cast concrete vaults, the roadway will be closed for two weekends, January 19th and 20th, and 26th and 27th, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. Westbound motorists will be detoured to White Street, two blocks north.
The 56-story condominium tower, located on the large lot at the corner of Church Street, also is in the opening phase of superstructure erection. Contractor Lend Lease will install a tower crane at the site next month, with another Leonard Street full road closure expected starting at 6 a.m. on Saturday, February 9th, through 9 p.m. on Sunday, February 10th. (In the event of inclement weather, the closure will be rescheduled.)
The innovative new building, designed by the Swiss architectural firm Herzog and de Meuron, is expected to open in spring 2015, and will be among the tallest in Tribeca.
