In large cities characterised by high population density, air rights projects are becoming increasingly prominent. This presentation begins by elaborating on the concept of air rights projects and delving into the complexities they entail. It then explores a compelling case study in Boston, MA, where Getzner's vibration isolation solutions are pivotal in facilitating a successful air rights development. We also examine the structural design challenges encountered and the innovative solutions implemented to overcome them.
This presentation focuses on several key aspects, including:
-
An introduction to air rights projects
-
Typical design and construction challenges of air rights projects
-
A case study of Boston’s first air rights project in over 30 years
-
Design development considerations
-
Vibration isolation design for the structure
-
Structural challenges of the project
-
