Malatesta Paladino was entrusted with the delicate task of performing sidewalk and vault repairs at the historic 454 Broome St. property, home to Kate Spade. As this location falls under landmark preservation guidelines, the project required meticulous attention to detail in order to preserve the historic character of the site, which dates back to the 1890s.
Key Project Highlights:
- Landmark Preservation: All work adhered to strict landmark preservation guidelines, ensuring that the historical integrity of the property was maintained throughout the restoration process.
- Granite Stone Refabrication: The original granite stone, installed in the 1890s, was carefully removed, refabricated, and refurbished to match its historical condition before being reinstalled to meet preservation standards.
- Vault Repairs: Essential repairs to the underground vault were carried out to improve safety and structural stability while ensuring minimal impact on the landmarked facade and exterior.
- Sidewalk Restoration: The sidewalk was restored to its original state, using materials and techniques that honored the historical significance of the property while ensuring modern durability and compliance with safety standards.
This project showcases Malatesta Paladino’s expertise in historical restoration, as well as our ability to seamlessly integrate modern construction practices with landmark preservation requirements.
