Project Overview
The Brook is a mixed-use tower planned to span 600 ft into the Brooklyn skyline while occupying a distinctive corner lot on Fulton Street and Flatbush Avenue. The space will feature four ground floor boutique retail locations, 592 luxury rentals, and residential amenities such as an outdoor pool, fitness center, indoor basketball court, grand lounge, children’s playroom, library, rooftop green space and a pet washing facility. The tower’s infrastructure will include 263 piles, the largest vertical heat pump in New York City, and will uniquely house an electrical transformer, property of ConEd.
The Impact
With over 2.7 million residents living across 70 neighborhoods, Brooklyn is New York City’s most populous and fastest growing borough. Upon completion, The Brook will deliver additional housing to this booming community, as well as over 30,000 square feet of life enhancing experiences and amenities for residents including outdoor spaces, bar and game areas and kids play spaces. Suffolk and the extended project team are honored to be a part of this vibrant neighborhood’s growth and development.
The Challenges
The site location of The Brook necessitates additional coordination so as not to affect existing infrastructure, including an adjacent structure and an on-site MTA entrance with a platform below and subway tunnels within 10-20 feet of the property. These conditions required extensive coordination throughout the excavation, bracing and foundation installation phases of the project. Close cooperation with the project’s design and trade partners throughout crane and site logistics planning, as well as the development of a 3D BIM model of the project and its MEP layout, have ensured transparency and efficiency at each step of the project.
The Technology
Arrowsight’s Remote Video Auditing (RVA) services have been implemented on The Brook, improving risk management and safety outcomes. This technology provides portable and fixed cameras installed in strategic areas of the jobsite, the footage from which is audited for workplace safety SOPs. Project managers receive a dashboard summary of the previous day’s activity to review flagged events such as missing PPE or improper fall protection compliance. The implementation of RVA services dramatically improves safety compliance rates, reducing overall workplace injuries and keeping the project team safe on site.
