: The Innovation and Design Center

After extensive renovations, the 1.4 million square foot Innovation and Design Building, located in Boston’s Seaport District, is now home to a dynamic mix of companies and industries. The eight-story building with expansive floor planes, high ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows is like no other property in Boston. Originally, selected to perform the initial window replacement work on the building in 2014, Patriot was rewarded for their performance as a key contactor in a massive building-wide restoration effort. Patriot provided all scaffolding access, performed over 30,000 square feet of concrete repairs at window perimeters and facades, installed new perimeter sealants on over 900 windows and installed an elastomeric waterproofing coating to the building’s facade. The $14 million restoration project, which also featured the removal of the West elevation granite façade and the design and installation of over 400 linear feet of GFRC cornice cladding, was completed on time by October of 2017.

: 99 High Street

99 High Street, also known as the Keystone Building was designed by Emery Roth & Sons in 1971 and is notable for its rounded corners and travertine facade. Patriot Restoration was commissioned to provide complete scaffold access to the entire building facade as part of a $14.4 Million facade restoration and window replacement project. Patriot worked with the architect to develop the window replacement strategy and travertine facade restoration program. Patriot was responsible for and handled all site safety, scaffold access, sidewalk bridging, travertine repairs and sealant replacement along with coordination for window replacement, which was performed at night to minimize disruption to the building tenants. The three year project, replaced all windows in the building, restored all of the travertine facades and replaced all building sealants.

: Post Office Square

Ten Post Office Square is a historic office building that upholds the tradition and elegance of Boston. Built between 1923 and 1929 it is an outstanding example of Limestone architecture in Boston. Patriot Restoration recently completed limestone and structural steel restoration at this beautiful building. Starting on Kilby and Water Streets, scaffold access via Mastclimber access towers was provided to remove limestone and masonry facade elements in order to repair and replace the deteriorated underlying structural steel framing. Once the steel components were restored and a protective waterproofing system installed, new masonry and Indiana Limestone cladding were installed to match the existing color and coursing of the building. The project then proceeded to Post Office Square and was completed on Milk Street. The exterior facade was completely restored including the replacement of all sealants and will remain an outstanding example of Boston architecture for the next century.

: Lincoln Street

179 Lincoln Street is a historic property located in Boston’s leather district. Built in 1899, it was the recipient of a 2009 Preservation Achievement Award from the Boston Preservation Alliance. In 2013 Patriot started a multi-year preservation program under the oversight of Wessling Architects. The scope of the project involves the replacement and waterproofing of deteriorated structural steel lintels, masonry reconstruction at jack arches, masonry repointing, cast iron repairs and painting, along with the replacement of all exterior sealants. The combination of facade materials ranging from terra cotta, limestone, granite, cast iron and brick, along with ornate carved stone detailing, results in an interesting mosaic of textures on this building’s facade.

: Hamton Place Condominium

The Hampton Place Condominium Courtyard is a rooftop garden located above the luxury Chestnut Hill property’s underground garage. Patriot Restoration was selected to perform extensive renovations on the half-acre garden that includes an in-ground pool. Work began with the removal and disposal of all existing hardscapes, trees, plants and almost 3,500 yards of soil. Patriot then installed supplemental drains along with a new hot-applied waterproofing system designed specifically for green roofs. Patriot partnered with Recover Green Roofs to install new lightweight soils, lawns, plantings, lighting and two hardscapes consisting of paver supported by pedestals and pavers on grade.

: Summer Street

Patriot Restoration was contracted to perform a major facade restoration project at 273-281 Summer Street. These buildings are outstanding examples of Early Modernism architecture common in the Boston Wharf Company portfolio of buildings constructed between 1904 and 1910. Patriot’s scope of work included the reconstruction of masonry jack arches, repointing, facade cleaning, cornice repairs, fire escape repairs and repainting. The Million dollar restoration program was completed in 2014.
