Located on Smith Street in Brooklyn, NY and fittingly named "The Smith", this 13-story mixed use building is being developed by Boymelgreen. The project consists of 62,000-square-feet of residential space located on floors 5 through 13 featuring 50 residential units, 60,000 square feet of hotel, retail, office, and community space located on the lower four floors and a 34,000-square-foot underground parking garage.
The hip, sophisticated vision of celebrated designer Nick Dine of Dine Murphy Wood infuses The Smith's 50 residences with an easy elegance that sets the standard for modern luxury. The casually chic environments created by Mr. Dine are amplified by over nine-foot ceilings and oversized windows that offer incredible views of New York's cityscape.
"This building reflects the spirit of its surroundings and provides the ideal setting for a contemporary, urban lifestyle." Not just another pretty building with a brick exterior fascia, the entire perimeter cavity space is protected on the interior with Penetron, creating a full perimeter, protective envelope for the entire building.
"Penetron is happy to note that its crystalline concrete waterproofing products are being successfully used in all sectors of the construction industry," stated Christopher Chen, Director of North American Sales and Marketing for ICS Penetron International Ltd. "Long considered a staple in more aggressive applications in the industrial market, Penetron concrete waterproofing products are proving themselves as assets in both smaller commercial applications and residential projects by offering superior levels of protection to Owners and time and labor savings to contractors."
