Size & Type of Project
Quincy Plaza is a new a new 499 unit luxury apartment building, retail & garage complex consisting of approximately 708,300 square feet, of which approximately 671,448 square feet are framed. The building has a four level below grade garage, retail, additional parking beneath a structured pool deck, and 21 levels of apartments plus a penthouse. The first “apartment” level consists of retail, lobby and common area.

The building steps back in area as it increases in height. Floors 2 through 15 are repetitive as are floors 16 through 21. Sheeting and shoring were required. Elevated decks will be post-tension concrete.

The project’s location is near METRO. Therefore, our design incorporated appropriate WMATA standards.

The project proceeded under a fast-track basis using a developer led design/build method of project delivery. Design work began in April 2003 and was completed on-time in January 2004. Groundbreaking (excavation) occurred in February 2004 with occupancy in late summer 2006. The construction cost was approximately $94 Million.

MCE Scope of Services

Our services encompassed the schematic, design development, construction document and construction administration phases of the work.

Nagielski, P.E., Arvind Parikh, P.E., Sanjoy Bose, P.E. and M. Roy, E.I.T.
