Pavarini McGovern is currently in the construction phase of a new luxury hotel in the Greenwich Village section of Manhattan, located just inland from the Hudson River. Once complete The Standard will rise to 20-stories and consist of 205,000-SF with 340 units. The new structure will also include three levels of back-of-house, meeting rooms and public access space, as well as one basement level.

The design calls for a reinforced concrete and composite steel structure with a cast-in-place concrete core, super columns and beams in spanning the high line area, built upon a pile-supported mat foundation. The concrete shear walls will be continuous from the new building's basement to the penthouse level. The core will consist of four passenger elevators and one freight elevator. The exterior façade of The Standard will consist of brick, exposed concrete and curtain wall. The lower floors will have a masonry and steel window façade and storefront. The 18th floor lounge and dining area will have an all glass façade.

The client for The Standard - Hotels AB - is a repeat client for Pavarini McGovern. We are also currently in the construction phase for a high-end residential project in downtown Manhattan, where Hotels AB is part of the development team.
