Brookfield Commons
Brookfield Commons is a public/private partnership to redevelop public housing in White Plains into a mixed-income residential community.
AKRF led civil and geotechnical engineering, site assessment/remediation services, and SEQRA environmental planning for The Overture, a nine-story, 129-apartment residential tower during Phase 2 of the project. Our work included full site planning and permitting, including the preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and sanitary flow monitoring for sewers in close proximity to the site.
Our subsurface exploration consisted of ten geotechnical borings and the installation of two groundwater observation wells, and our report addressed the site’s historical land use, review of historic drawings, a liquefaction evaluation, and recommendations for a drilled deep foundation system bearing in soil or rock.
The White Plains Common Council unanimously adopted the Site Plan Approval in 2018, and construction was completed in 2022. The Overture was designed by Marvel and developed by Trinity Financial. AKRF is now contributing to plans for the Phase 3 building.
