CASTLE VILLAGE 120 Cabrini Boulevard Hudson Heights Manhattan
For Castle Village, a five-building luxury coop development in upper Manhattan with panoramic views of the Hudson River, we guided a complete window replacement job of approx 7,500 double hung, bay and picture windows. We guided the window selection and bidding process through product and contractor selection, followed by overseeing of probes, mockups, field testing and shop drawing review.
When we conducted probes and trial mock-ups, we discovered deficiencies in the original wall construction precluding standard window anchorage methods. This required that we develop anchoring details especially made to withstand strong wind loads directly off the river. To avoid unexpected surprises, we surveyed every apartment in advance in order to note any resident field conditions or obstructions that might hold up the installations. From the start to finish of all installations, we provided full-time construction inspection, coordination and contract administration, seeing the project all the way through to the successful completion.

Northern’s design team worked hand-in-hand with Ivan Brice Architecture to create almost 8,000 custom windows that would bring modern energy efficiency, yet hold true to the original architectural concept in fine detail.“Northern has provided neatly fitted, beveled muntin bars to create simulated divided lite windows in a muted white color that are a faithful match-up to the original windows and Georgian style of the buildings” according to Ivan Brice AIA, Principal. Brice’s office surveyed all apartment units in advance and Andy provided full-time inspection services throughout the installation phase of the work.
