432 Park Avenue - New York, NY
At the time of completion, 432 Park Avenue is the tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere. A luxury condominium tower designed by famed architect Rafael Vinoly, 432 Park Avenue showcases cutting edge design through its square geometric footprint, white facade, and repetitive checkerboard-style window pattern. As would be expected, the construction of a supertower in midtown Manhattan was an incredible feat for the entire construction team. However, beyond the typical challenges of achieving the desired strength, fluidity, pumpability, and modulus of elasticity, the construction team had to deal with an ambitious time schedule and a deceptively difficult design requirement: the white color.

World Trade Center
Soaring to a height of 1,776 feet (540-meters), the 2.6-million-square-foot (242,000-square meter) skyscraper soon to become the new One World Trade Center in the lower Manhattan district of New York City is a marvel of design and engineering.

The Reed at Southbank
Rising 41 stories along the Chicago River, The Reed at Southbank is a striking addition to the city’s skyline, combining luxury living with groundbreaking sustainability efforts. Featuring one of the lowest Global Warming Potential (GWP) values ever specified for a Chicago high-rise, the project sets a new benchmark for concrete construction. With a four-hour set time and stringent early-age strength requirements, the concrete mix—spanning 29,000 cubic yards across 4,000 to 10,000 psi strengths—met and exceeded all performance expectations.

PIER 27 - Toronto, ON
Standing 369 feet tall, PIER 27 Phase III is the pinnacle of a multi-building residential complex along Toronto’s waterfront. This 35-story tower distinguishes itself with bold architectural design, featuring striking 16-foot cantilevered balconies arranged in an alternating pattern across each floor. Constructed with 25,000 m³ (32,700 yd³) of concrete—including over 3,000 m³ (3,900 yd³) of high early strength and high-strength mixes—the project required an optimized concrete formulation to enhance strength development while reducing its carbon footprint.
