This 43-unit sale marks the largest multifam- ily transaction with the most units sold in the city in well- over 10 years.” The property on Walnut St. in Roselle contains two studios, 12 one-bedroom apartments, two two-bedroom apartments and one three-bedroom apart- ment.

To accommodate the shipment schedule, a concrete mix utiliz- ing a hydration-control admix- ture was developed to meet the unique logistical challenges of the site. To minimize cast- in-place quantities, structural details were modified to limit secondary and comeback pours and the architectural precast façade was also revised to load- bearing panels to eliminate concrete shear walls. The larg- est single-day pour measured approximately 400 cubic yards, which required a total of 18 concrete trucks on the barge at the same time. “It’s been an extremely re- warding experience working on this iconic new museum,” said Jarret Johnson , a principal at DeSimone Consulting En- gineers. “We were pleased to provide creative and innovative solutions that helped enrich a treasured institution that’s enjoyed by millions of people from around the world.”
