179 N 10th Street Mid Rise Residential Building

EP Engineering has partnered with KSK Construction and builtd Architects to deliver a forward-thinking mass timber condominium that pushes the boundaries of energy efficiency and sustainable urban development. Designed with a focus on reducing both embodied and operational carbon, the building integrates mass timber construction with all-electric mechanical systems, high-efficiency heat pump technology, and advanced energy recovery ventilation.

179 N 10th Street represents a new model for sustainable multifamily construction in New York City, demonstrating how innovative structural materials and cutting-edge MEP design can work together to create a high-performance, environmentally responsible residential building.
