200 West Street is a 45-story 740-ft tall Global Financial Headquarters building located in Battery Park City in Lower Manhattan. Designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, the LEED Gold Certified tower houses more than 9,000 employees across 2.1 million sq ft of space, including offices, six expansive trading floors, and a 2-story mid-rise sky lobby.

Designed as a “well-tailored suit”, the 750,000 sq ft façade incorporates 10-ft wide curtain wall units, twice the width commonly used on unitized systems. The oversized insulating glass panels on each curtain wall unit provide ample daylighting to interior office spaces beyond, while visually flat stainless steel panels wrap the building perimeter at spandrel zones on each floor. In order to achieve the high level of quality insisted upon by the Owner, exceptional fabrication methods, rigorous oversight, and continuous inspection during installation were employed though all phases of the facade work.

Heintges provided building envelope consulting services during fabrication and installation phases, including NYC Special Inspections.
