Formerly known as the Sheraton Hotel, Arlington Downs has transformed into a premier residential complex that includes retail, residential, and commercial spaces.<\/p>\n
AECOM Tishman served as general contractor for the project, designed by Pappageorge Haymes Partners. The redevelopment entailed renovating an existing 13-story, 427-room hotel into a contemporary 214-unit residential building.<\/p>\n
Its Many Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n Arlington Downs includes luxury apartments, a new two-level post-tensioned concrete below-grade parking structure, and is within walking distance of Arlington International Racecourse and Arlington Park Metra station, and is in close proximity to highway access and numerous off-site recreation and retail amenities.<\/p>\n Structural Challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n The existing building presented structural deficiencies, so the second-floor slab was removed in its entirety and a new first-floor slab was constructed at a higher elevation to both bring the building\u2019s ground floor into alignment with the existing building perimeter site condition and also allow for higher ceiling space.<\/p>\n Developing Strategies<\/strong><\/p>\n Our\u00a0preconstruction team worked closely with stakeholders to determine how to best utilize funds and develop value engineering strategies. The team\u2019s proposed value engineering strategy included changing material, re-engineering the structure, design-build for mechanical and electrical trades, and deleting non-essential scope items, dropping the original estimated contract price from $40,000,000 to $36,280,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":5855,"template":"","tags":[474],"city":[423],"class_list":["post-19973","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-aecom-tishman","city-arlington-heights"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/19973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/19973\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19973"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/baltics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=19973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
