New York, NY LERA Consulting Structural Engineers (LERA) was honored with the Engineer’s/People’s Choice Award at the 2019 SEAoNY Excellence in Structural Engineering (EiSE) Awards for the NYU Langone Health Helen and Martin Kimmel Pavilion project LERA led the structural design of the new healthcare facility, which was designed by Ennead in association with NBBJ.

The 21-story, 830,000 s/f Kimmel Pavilion is a patient care center consisting of a 14-story tower atop a seven-level podium that contains a suite of 30 technologically advanced operating/procedure rooms. Representing the culmination of NYU Langone Health’s decade-long vision to transform their medical campus, the Pavilion is situated on a constrained site that presented numerous structural challenges. Kimmel’s podium serves as a “bridge” that spans tunnels directly underneath, and to mitigate against future storm surges, a concealed protective flood perimeter ensures that the hospital will remain operational in the event of a major flood. Part of the funding for this project came from FEMA, with whom the design team coordinated directly.

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
