2424 Tulane, LLC selected Gibbs to join their design team as a design-assist contractor for the construction of a new seven-story apartment building on the former site of a blighted motel in Mid-City, New Orleans. Over the course of preconstruction, Gibbs generated milestone estimates and schedules, offered cost-saving suggestions, performed exploratory work, collected subcontractor estimates and worked closely with the architect to collaboratively design a 250,919 square-foot multi-family, retail and parking complex. The 72,350 square-foot, cast-in-place concrete parking structure provided precedence for the building’s podium and elevated courtyard design. An extensive curtain wall wraps the front facade of future retail tenant spaces on Tulane Avenue. Framed with a premanufactured metal panelized system, Gibbs’ quickly built out 240 units in the six-floor apartment structure. The exterior of this project was completed with oversized windows, a stucco-finished skin and topped with a thermoplastic polyolefin roofing membrane. Additionally, the second-floor outdoor rooftop pool and terrace provide a social space for residents to unwind and mingle. This mid-rise National Green Building Standard certified structure provides a convenient housing option for the recently developed medical corridor. |
