As the tallest single-use hotel structure in North America, 1717 Broadway takes its place alongside the many other prestigious projects in Navillus repertoire.
When completed, it will stand 70 stories tall. The structure required 12,000psi concrete in all walls and columns up to the 40th floor and 10,000psi concrete for the subsequent 10 floors. This use of this high-strength concrete at high elevations required the usage of complex chemical compounds, and therefore made the workability of the product all the more difficult. Despite these challenges, Navillus is able to pour the typical floors of this project with precision and efficiency in a 2 day cycle.
Being in the heart of midtown, on West 54th Street and Broadway and across the street from the Ed Sullivan Theatre, Navillus, as it always does, went the extra mile in ensuring a safe and healthy project for its workers and the public. As the first to use the Efco climbing safety system in New York City, Navillus installed this mesh cocoon system using aluminum steel members, allowing less inserts, which required less panels to climb, resulting in a quicker and more efficient jump time. The system is tied into the slab over 3 floors and provides 4 floors of protection.

Navillus skill and expertise in concrete superstructure are evident in its work on 400 5th Avenue – a premiere 65-story high-rise building in the center of midtown Manhattan, echoing in the shadow of the world-renowned Empire State Building.
This project has been commended not only by the Construction Manager, but also by such city agencies as the New York City Department of Buildings for its continuing vigilance of safety and quality all of which attributed to winning a CIB Award and being featured on the History Channel. Navillus is the first in the city to introduce the Doka Formwork system of safety, which protects three and a half floors of active work. Hydraulically lifted, this system raised itself with the height of the building. Even while using this complex system, Navillus was able to master a two-day concrete cycle throughout the structure’s typical floors. 400 5th Avenue is truly an achievement of safety, quality, and efficiency combined.
