Located in the Upper West Side of NYC, this new construction complex on 775/795/805/808 Columbus Avenue provides luxury apartments for sophisticated housing. Oak strip wood floors and floor to ceiling glass windows with view to Central Park on the west and Riverside Park to the east are only part of the amenities. And so are the approx. 12.077 m2 roof gardens - one with an adjacent pool - offering outdoor living space for recreation.
The buildings were finished in 2010/2011 and followed state-of-the-art sustainable design criteria. When it came to choosing waterproofing materials to protect the inhabited and retail space below the large vegetated roofs, cold-liquid applied KEMPEROL BR was the chosen system, providing a clean and safe solution. KEMPEROL membranes are fully reinforced with non-woven polyester fleece and adhere to the substrate over the entire surface. Flashings for drains and pipes are seamlessly integrated into the edge- to-edge membrane. The waterproofing system is rot and root resistant with FLL approval and provides a maintenance free substrate for a variety of overburdens, e. g. wood decking for the walkways, pavers on pedestals for the terraces, and various components for green roof assemblies including soil and plants. In addition to the roof garden, the main roofs of 808 and 775 Columbus Ave., a cooling tower and a parking garage were waterproofed with KEMPEROL BR, whereas solvent-free and odor-free KEMPEROL 2K-PUR was installed on the indoor pool deck area, totaling the project size to 13.935 m2.
Living at Columbus Square fulfills highest standards in today’s art of living: an excellent location, outstanding design and the right choice of construction materials - to preserve the buildings and to protect the investment.
