Harper Street Yard LEED-Gold Transformation

Positioned strategically at 32-11 Harper Street in Queens, NY, the Harper Street Yard has been an integral asset to the NYCDOT’s operational framework for 85 years. Encountering issues typical of urban industrial zones, such as decrepit infrastructure, subpar facility layouts, and critical stormwater management deficiencies, all compounded by flood risks from proximal Flushing Creek, the site required a significant revamp to sustain its functional viability.

As a critical member of the design-build team, we contributed multi-discipline design efforts to transform the Harper Street Yard into a resilient, LEED Gold-targeted hub. The project centerpiece, a new 70,000-square-foot Administration Building, will supplant obsolete structures, streamlining workflow and bolstering staff amenities with state-of-the-art operational facilities, including comprehensive departmental spaces, a modernized fleet maintenance suite, and enhanced personnel support zones.

This redevelopment encompasses a total retrofit of the 170,000-square-foot site with an emphasis on sustainability and resilience. Demonstrating our integrated engineering capabilities, the project aligns structural, civil, geotechnical, marine, and facade engineering disciplines to deliver a cohesive and high-performing redevelopment solution, backed by continuous support through the construction phase.
