Our Public Safety team has had an exciting past few weeks with projects progressing. The Town of Lexington, MA Police Department had their ribbon cutting for the new Police Headquarters. #TeamTecton previously worked with the Town of Lexington to design and construct a new Fire Headquarters. We hope the Town and their community are enjoying their new public safety facilities. Earlier this month, The City of Greenfield, Massachusetts had the grand opening for their new Fire Headquarters. Tecton is proud to have worked as a Peer Reviewer and Interior Designer with H2M architects + engineers on this project. Congratulations to the City, their emergency responders and community. Lastly, the Peabody Police Department broke ground this month for the construction of their new Public Safety Headquarters. The complex will be powered entirely by electricity, with a backup generator that runs on diesel, with rooftop and parking canopy solar panels to help achieve a low Energy Use Intensity. The project is expected to complete construction in spring 2026.

This new community-oriented residential development provides a commuter-friendly and amenity-rich living experience that will directly impact not only the residents, but the broader Sacramento metro area. Planned for completion in 2026, Natomas Fountains provides six residential buildings, a community pool and spa, dog run, and community garden within a safe and pedestrian-friendly site located a short drive to Downtown. The various stormwater treatment systems were strategically designed to maximize available land use for development purposes. Peter Bernard, senior engineering manager, explained “We worked closely with the City of Sacramento, troubleshooting their spreadsheets when they were implementing new calculations methods for sizing stormwater treatment systems. Together, we worked out the tools that all development projects will use in the future.” Peter loves the challenge of laying out a plan for multi-family residential buildings. He said “Multi-family projects each have unique challenges of pedestrian circulation, parking, ADA accessibility, and utility layouts. I love the challenge of putting the pieces of the puzzle together to create a community where residents can thrive.” Early planning efforts for this project helped resolve the site’s unique challenges and collaboration kept the project moving forward.

Each year approximately 4,000 crimes take place at construction sites in London. 80% of these involve theft of plant and materials with 20% involving acts of violence and sexual offences. The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 places a legal obligation on site operators to consider crime and disorder in all undertakings, and whilst the above statistics are shocking, measures can be put in place to reduce these numbers and make construction sites safer places for operatives and the public. Improving safety by adopting a true ‘placemaking’ approach to London site establishments, including planning, design and innovation are key subjects in our London Urban White Paper, written by our Chief Engineer Keith Smith. To find out more about how your site could be at risk and what measures you can take to mitigate this risk, download the London Urban White Paper https://lnkd.in/ebnzKBDC #infrastructuresafety #urbanplanning #placemaking #London #trafficmanagement #construction

Recently, the City of Philadelphia released bulletin codes related to construction permits for projects and notifications of work for neighboring properties. The City strives to implement policies to ensure that work proceeds in a safe and continuous manner and complies with the most recent version of the City’s Building Construction and Occupancy Code. As such, the Code dictates that a permit will become invalid if work is not commenced within six months of issuance or is suspended for a period of six months and that all work covered under a permit be completed within five years of the date of issuance. Learn more in the client alert from Ron Patterson and Augusta O'Neill. Link in comments! #ClientAlert #PhildelphiaZoning #PhillyZoning #ConstructionPermits #BuildingCode

ZONING regulations in Atlanta are being rewritten as we speak. How many gas stations are in your neighborhood? Are tiny houses permissible in your backyard? What's going to be built on the vacant lot on your block? Zoning regulations determine ALL of that and more. This past Monday the City of Atlanta presented the first look at the zoning changes scheduled for implementation Jan. 2025. Yes, you heard that right - in 6 months the changes will start rolling out. Key Take Aways: - Major changes to gas station development and where they're allowed to operate - Major changes to self-storage facilities. As currently proposed, they now must be part of a mixed use development where the commercial and residential square footage must equal the amount allocated for storage - Major changes for how guest houses, accessory dwelling units and tiny homes are defined and regulated This is just a sampling of the changes that will shape how the city transforms over the next 50 years. As a real estate development firm the Aspire Construction & Design team was in the room to be a part of the conversation, claim a seat at the table and to be sure that the voice of the small scale developer is heard. The next session for a review and feedback session on the changes will be July 9. More details at www.atlzoning.com. Stay informed. #CRE #CommercialRealEstate #RealEstateDevelopment #Architecture #Engineering #Construction

Overlooking Union Station and three blocks from the U.S. Capitol, the outdated office building located at 20 Massachusetts Avenue was set to undergo its transformation to become a mixed-use experiential urban destination. Instead of demolishing and rebuilding from scratch, the project team remodeled the complex to save time and resources, resulting in less environmental impact. They expanded the building to 523,000 square feet and increased the height and width. The building, completed in 2023, now includes eco-friendly and advanced technological elements for hotel guests and office users. DPR Construction carried out a detailed design and pre-construction planning using Bentley software, determining that using prefabrication would keep the project on track and reduce disruption to the local Washington, D.C. community. This approach cut two months off the construction timeline, which started in April 2022. By repurposing the existing 20 Mass structure, they eliminated CO2 emissions by 6,905 metric tons. The building’s 50-year history as office space for the federal government is now the past as its visual and experiential relationship to the Massachusetts Avenue corridor and the surrounding neighborhood has been transformed. #construction #engineering #infrastructure #washingtonDC #20Mass
