Verge Civil Engineering handled site grading, underground utility relocation, foundation support design, and stormwater management for a new 8‑story mixed‑use tower on a tight 0.3‑acre urban lot. The building includes 120 residential units and 8,000 square feet of ground‑floor retail. Zachary’s team coordinated closely with the structural engineer and general contractor throughout the 22‑month schedule.
The site contained a 100‑year‑old combined sewer line that had to be rerouted without disrupting service to neighboring buildings. The lot was bounded by three existing structures, requiring a complex shoring and underpinning plan to prevent settlement. Excavation for the below‑grade parking and detention vault reached 25 feet deep, encountering unexpected groundwater at 15 feet.
No damage occurred to any adjacent building, confirmed by pre‑ and post‑construction surveys. The project received its certificate of occupancy on the original deadline despite the groundwater challenges. The retail spaces were 100% leased within four months of opening, and residential units reached 95% occupancy after one year.
