This is a unique high-rise building, as it is the first of its kind in the city, to make use of a Gamma Stone’s lightweight yet monolithic panelized rain screen stone system. The building design features a thin limestone rain screen facade system which was produced in Italy and shipped down to New York City one piece at a time.
The principal and COO of Omnibuild, John Mingione described the development of the stone façade panel system used for the Hyatt Place Hotel, as a global effort. Mingione described the production process, stating that the stone was quarried and cut in Portugal, before it was dispatched via trucks to Rome, during the pandemic; where it was sawed down and bonded, before finally arriving at New York.
