Positive Lifting: Crane Services for the Renovation and Expansion of 29 Ryerson Street
Positive Lifting is excited to be an integral part of the renovation and expansion of the iconic 29 Ryerson Street, located in the historic Wallabout section of Brooklyn, directly across from the Navy Yard. This ambitious 270,000-square-foot project is transforming a former eight-story warehouse/manufacturing building into a modern commercial hub, while also developing adjacent lots into vibrant office, retail, and parking spaces. The building is set to house offices, retail, and amenities, attracting tenants from the technology, media, advertising, and innovative industries.
Crane Services for a Landmark Project
Positive Lifting is providing critical crane services to support the renovation and expansion of this landmarked building. We are committed to helping maintain the building’s architectural integrity while adapting it for modern commercial use. Our advanced mobile cranes and knuckleboom trucks have been essential in safely lifting and placing materials needed for the renovation, ensuring both efficiency and precision.
This project is unique in its scope, requiring customized lifting solutions to handle materials that preserve the building’s historical charm while integrating modern elements. Positive Lifting’s team has been instrumental in navigating the complexities of this redevelopment, ensuring the project runs smoothly while meeting the client’s goals.
Modern Amenities for Forward-Thinking Companies
The transformation of 29 Ryerson Street includes unique tenant amenities, such as a 4,000-square-foot atrium and 15,000 square feet of rooftop terraces, offering stunning views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. These elements will create a dynamic and attractive destination for creative and tech-focused companies. Positive Lifting’s role has been crucial in supporting these additions by ensuring that the lifts for these features were completed on time and with the utmost safety.
Collaboration for Success
In this one-of-a-kind project, Positive Lifting was entrusted by Sela Development and YNH General Contractor to ensure compliance with all regulatory permits, including those derived from the Brooklyn Navy Yard. We also partnered with Oz Steel, working hand in hand to complete the installation of structural steel rigs and facilitate the successful installation of key elements of the building’s structure.
Blending Brooklyn’s Industrial Past with Its Innovative Future
We are proud to contribute to a project that blends Brooklyn’s rich industrial history with its innovative future. As 29 Ryerson Street nears completion, it will become a premier destination for forward-thinking companies, fostering collaboration and creativity. Positive Lifting’s involvement in this historic transformation showcases our ability to handle complex, large-scale crane services, ensuring the successful completion of a development that will serve as a symbol of Brooklyn’s revitalization.
