Collaboration, communication, candor, and celebrations were de rigueur for The SoNo Collection. Challenges for the 1,100,00 square-foot, $350,000,000 mall included: A JV team that had not worked together before. A change in project ownership. A restricted urban site, adjacent to the MTA rail, requiring constant vibration monitoring and the ability to stop work on a dime if trains were impacted. An ever-changing design to address prospective tenant needs while construction was underway. Use of a specialized filigree form plank system for the parking garage with only one US manufacturer and jumbo steel beams that had to be sourced from Belgium.
