116TH STREET, QUEENS, NY
Completed in January 2023.
Dextall's recently completed project on 116th St. in Queens represents a major leap forward for both our company and the prefabrication field at large. Working with client JLS Group, we delivered a complete 55,000-square-foot facade for a 9-story, 55-unit apartment building in significantly less time and with substantially fewer labor and resources compared to conventional construction methods. Fabricated by our expert production team, Dextall's all-in-one exterior panels arrived onsite in New York just as the building frame was completed. The project faced challenges due to the unusually shaped lot, which came to a sharp point on its southern edge, requiring precise panel alignment at exact angles.
Dextall's DWall product not only met the technical requirements but also brought an attractive, neighborhood-appropriate façade to the quiet Queens block. The panels' alternating swatches of aluminum cladding complement the historic fabric of the streetscape. From design to fabrication to assembly, Dextall provided the client with a streamlined, easy-to-navigate construction process and a durable, high-performance exterior. This investment promises significant dividends in energy efficiency and maintenance savings for years to come.
Installation using a Spyder Crane will allow approximately 1,500 square feet of panels to be installed in a single working day.
