The Grand Plaza, Chicago, IL, USA
Custom Steel Formwork Produces Exceptional Architectural Concrete
With a footprint of 1.7 million sqft (158,000 m²), the twin tower apartment high rise in Chicago´s booming River North neighborhood will occupy an entire city block. The project features a 57 story tower on the east end and a 37 story on the west end including 80,000 sqft (7,432 m²) of parking space. With retail units and a full scale grocery store on the ground floor, a 1,000 unit parking structure and 764 apartment units, the Grand Plaza is an impressive mixed-use development.
In order to successfully complete such a project on time, formwork design was given a high level of importance. Working with PERI, McHugh relied on the experience and expertise of the formwork and scaffolding specialists.
PERI´s goal was to provide a complete procedural concept through a concise construction plan containing formwork systems that were ideally suited to each specific task.
