Downtown sidewalks are some of the oldest and most varied in the city. Narrow streets, historic buildings and a mix of residential lofts, offices and retail mean every frontage is a little different, and planning matters as much as the concrete work itself. Nova Contractors Manhattan plans each Downtown job around those details before any concrete is poured.
What’s Different About Sidewalk Work in Lower Manhattan
- Vault lights, cellar vaults and sidewalk doors, common in SoHo and Tribeca
- Historic districts where the Landmarks Preservation Commission may need to approve changes to granite, bluestone or other historic paving
- Narrow streets with limited space for equipment and materials
- Office and retail frontages that need to stay open during work
