PROJECT OVERVIEW
IVY Engineering Group provided critical wind uplift calculations for rooftop installations at JPMorgan Chase’s new global headquarters at 270 Park Avenue—a 1,388-ft, 70-story skyscraper designed by Foster + Partners and rising to become among New York City’s tallest buildings. Our analysis considered roof slope, paver size and placement, and local wind loading conditions, applying advanced engineering software and methodologies.
We delivered comprehensive, signed-and-sealed calculation reports by licensed professional engineers, ensuring compliance with NYC Department of Buildings standards. These documents play a vital role in demonstrating regulatory compliance and safeguarding structural safety.
