The South end of Boston has been at the forefront of the city’s revitalization and expansion in recent years. One such development is the new Cambria Hotel Boston at 6 West Broadway. Manafort-Precision was selected to perform all of the cast-in-place concrete work as part of this 14 story, 102,500 sf, reinforced concrete framed structure for this 159 room Boutique Hotel.

One of the project’s most prominent features is the 3 story Architectural Concrete Columns at the Main Entrance. These exposed concrete columns required precision formwork and concrete placement to achieve the desired Architectural vision. A second project feature involving an exposed concrete finish are the exposed concrete ceilings in the guest rooms. Just as with the Architectural Concrete Columns, these ceilings required close attention to detail during horizontal formwork installation and concrete placement to achieve the required tolerance and aesthetic.

In addition to these Architectural Concrete features, the cast-in-place concrete included all concrete formwork, reinforcing steel, placement, and finishing for the foundation footings, grade beams, mat slabs, and walls as well the structural concrete building frame core walls, columns, and post-tensioned floor slabs.

As with all commercial construction jobs, the schedule was a critical factor. Manafort personnel coordinated closely with the General Contractor and project stakeholders to ensure that the project was completed safely and on schedule. The Manafort team’s experience working in tight urban locations, commitment to safety and quality, and familiarity with High Rise Cast in Place Concrete work lead to a successful, safe, high quality, on time, and on-budget project completion.
