Major work is being
done to revive the facades of a prominent condominium on
Midtown Beach.
|
In early November,
crew members from Carousel Development & Restoration, Inc.
worked throughout the Winthrop House condominiums, some
pouring concrete at the building's porte-cochère all while
others worked to repair, waterproof and paint the building's
facades.
Built in 1969, the building at 100 Worth Ave. is undergoing
work that includes updating the building's style to an Art
Deco-influenced look while also fixing deteriorated concrete
walls, balconies, railings and other problems. Notably, the
new look replaces the building's red brick panels with a
white streamlined element.
The renovations, approved by the Architectural Commission
back in October 2023, are expected to be completed by the
next season.
The project recently received the Town Council's approval to
extend its right-of-way permit to allow workers to use the
sidewalk on South Ocean Boulevard to move equipment to and
from the building. The approval also allows for quiet work
on Saturdays, a request a project representative said was
made to speed up the completion of the building's vehicular
entrance. |
