Riverbend Luxury Residences

The Ginsburg Development Company creates high quality residential and mixed-use communities in New York’s Northern Suburbs.

As part of this community, The Riverbend Luxury Residences were developed on a 30-acre site previously occupied by the Franciscan Sisters of Peekskill which contains sixteen 3-story residential buildings, one 2-story clubhouse and one 4-story apartment building. This residential apartment development consists of approximately 242 units, associated driveways, parking and infrastructure.

The many services Tectonic provided throughout the construction of this project included:

• Preliminary site design and permitting, grading and drainage, site utilities, reports, cost estimates, regulatory permitting, erosion control and storm water management design.
• Geotechnical services: subsurface investigation, the design of multiple segmental block walls and rock walls, and the design of cast-in-place concrete retaining walls.
• Surveying services to support both the design and construction.
• Construction responsibilities included the layout of new buildings, garage pads, site grading, water and sewer lines, curb lines, etc. Tectonic also provided as-built surveys of the infrastructure for submittal to the various municipal agencies overseeing the project.
• Construction inspection and materials testing services were provided throughout the construction phase of the project to support the Client’s quality control initiatives and Code compliance requirements.

The Newburgh Mid-Broadway Mixed Use project involved the redevelopment of an affordable residential 91-unit housing development on a 1.96-acre portion of a city block in Newburgh, NY. This housing unit is a mix of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom configurations with on-site amenities that includes a playground, 155 parking spaces, and a supermarket to serve the complex.

Tectonic provided professional consulting services which included:

• Planning board approvals
• Site planning (geometric, grading, drainage, utility)
• Storm water management design within a combined sewer service area
• DOH approvals for water/sewer
• Full Environmental Assessment Form (EAF)
• Road opening permits
• Special use permit approvals
• Construction documents
• Construction phase office/field support

This project will provide affordable housing for families with incomes in the range of 35 to 85 percent of the County’s area median income.

The Mill at Middletown is an adaptive reuse of a historic 3-story mill building into a 27-unit affordable rental apartment building with 1,300 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor including the Fresh Start Cafe, a culinary arts job training program. A one-story brick annex building will be reused as a 1,200 square foot community space. A 4-story, 15-unit, new construction building extension brings the total number of units to 42.

Tectonic provided services to redesign the parking lot, public spaces, and stormwater management system. Retaining walls were dramatically lowered or eliminated, earthwork was reduced, accessibility and circulation were improved, infrastructure was scaled back, and landscaping was increased. Services also included:

• Survey (ALTA/ACSM)
• Site/civil design
• Utility engineering
• Construction support
• SPDES compliance permitting
• Stormwater Pollution Prevention Planning
• FEMA elevation certificate/LOMA

Tectonic worked with the development team to transform a municipal approval set of drawings into a construction-ready, value-engineered solution to accommodate the project architect’s ultimate vision for the project.

Hudson Crest is a LEED® (Silver) housing campus providing 189 units of luxury housing situated on 6-acres of land offering picturesque views overlooking the Hudson River.

This project was designed to transition between the single-family residences, which are adjacent to high-density housing and commercial uses, to provide public enhancements such as footpaths, utility infrastructure, mass transit links and an automated parking garage. The units were arranged to emphasize river views, community design and to facilitate unique circulation patterns that permits parking beneath two of the buildings, thereby maximizing the development potential of the site.

Tectonic provided site engineering services by developing LEED®-compliant site plan designs and providing support for sustainable site credits. Additional services Tectonic provided include the following:

• Preparation of subsurface investigations
• Rock removal and blasting procedures
• Support of municipal approvals and EIS process
• SPDES stormwater permitting, including subterranean storage and rainwater harvesting
• Obtained potable water and wastewater permits
