Positive Lifting is proud to have contributed to the renovation and restoration of The Mercer, one of New York City's most iconic boutique hotels. With its 73 rooms and suites embodying the quintessential New York loft experience—high ceilings, open floor plans, and large windows—our team played a crucial role in the logistical challenges of this complex project.
Collaborating with the construction crew, our mobile cranes and knucklebooms were essential in the careful transport and placement of heavy building materials, including iron and glass French doors, exposed brick, and custom architectural elements designed by the renowned Christian Liaigre. His romantic, minimalist aesthetic was fully realized throughout the hotel, and our expertise in heavy lifting ensured that his design vision was executed with precision and efficiency.
The challenges of working in a confined urban environment required innovative solutions, and our equipment was perfectly suited for maneuvering large materials into the hotel’s tight spaces, while maintaining the building’s historic character. Our knucklebooms, in particular, enabled us to place materials in hard-to-reach areas, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding neighborhood.
From the intricate courtyard features to the seamless blending of modern interiors and historical elements, Positive Lifting’s services were instrumental in achieving the high standards of this luxury renovation.
