Description

Topped out at 41 floors and standing 470 feet high, 1 West End was the first tower built in the 8 acres of the Riverside Center mega project in the southwest neighborhood of Upper West Manhattan. Back in 2014, we were chosen as the basis of design to provide a cost effective, efficient HVAC system for this residential tower.

The solution was 266 hydronic Islandaire PTACs. These are thru-the-wall units required no ductwork and saved big on installation costs and time. Compared to a central AC system, these units also operate more efficiently since each of them only conditions one room as needed.
