River Reach
The construction company’s partnership with River Reach in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, represents one of their most substantial multi-year restoration projects to date. This $20 million comprehensive renovation spans six buildings containing 600 residential units, demonstrating the company’s capacity to manage large-scale, occupied residential renovations while maintaining resident safety and satisfaction. The project reflects a significant investment in modernizing and protecting this expansive waterfront community for decades to come.
Over a four-year duration, the construction team executed an extensive building-wide renovation program addressing critical life-safety and structural systems. The comprehensive scope included complete railing replacement throughout all buildings, installation of new impact-resistant window and door systems across all 600 units, fresh painting of all building exteriors, waterproofing of balcony surfaces, structural repairs to the building envelopes, and post-tensioned cable replacement. The company served as general contractor, primarily utilizing their skilled W2 workforce while strategically subcontracting window installation to specialized vendors. Managing this scale of work across six occupied buildings required sophisticated project management and resident communication protocols.
The primary challenges included coordinating work across 600 occupied units over four years while minimizing disruption to residents’ daily lives. Sequencing multiple trades, managing the logistics of impact window installations in occupied spaces, executing structural repairs without compromising building integrity, and maintaining consistent quality standards across such an extended timeline presented extraordinary coordination demands.
The company developed a phased approach with detailed resident communication plans and flexible scheduling to accommodate occupants. By leveraging their experienced W2 labor force for the majority of trades and partnering with proven window specialists, they ensured quality control while maintaining project momentum across the multi-year timeline.
The successful completion of this four-year project enhanced the safety, aesthetics, and structural integrity of the entire River Reach community. This achievement solidifies the company’s reputation for managing complex, long-duration residential renovations while strengthening Fort Lauderdale’s residential infrastructure and property values.
