Miami, FL | Residential Condominium
- Challenge
4 Midtown Miami, a 32-story luxury condominium in the heart of Miami’s Midtown district, faced extensive exterior deterioration due to prolonged exposure to coastal elements. Key issues included:
- Cracked and debonded stucco, leading to water infiltration risks
- Concrete spalls and structural wear across exterior walls and garage areas
- Failing balcony waterproofing, affecting all 392 residential units
- Inadequate drainage and ponding water on terraces and balconies
With hundreds of residents living onsite, the project required a phased, minimally disruptive approach, ensuring safety, communication, and efficiency while maintaining the building’s aesthetic integrity.
- Solution
Spire Building Solutions implemented a comprehensive exterior restoration plan in collaboration with the association and partnered engineering firm. Using Procore construction management software, we optimized project tracking, resident notifications, and documentation workflows, ensuring seamless coordination and transparency with stakeholders.
Our team executed structural repairs, waterproofing upgrades, and façade restorations, significantly enhancing the building’s durability and curb appeal. By implementing a strategic sequencing approach, we maintained continuous resident access to shared spaces while upholding OSHA safety compliance throughout the project.
