Cianbro is the Construction Manager (CM) for the Carousel Center Phase 1 Expansion in Syracuse, NY. DestiNY rests on the site of a disbanded oil tank farm with challenging soil conditions. This expansion encompasses approximately 1.25M sf of construction, netting 800,000 sf of retail space in addition to what is currently here.

The construction includes driving over 300,000 lf of H-pile, pouring 57,000 cy of concrete in substructure foundations and elevated slabs, and erecting 7,600 tons of structural steel, joists, and decking.  The building will be skinned in precast.  Extensive mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC will be installed to support the structure, as well as a major relocation of existing utilities.  The roof will include traditional skylights and a barrel vaulted skylight.

Reclaimed fields adjacent to the mall were used to develop auxiliary parking in order to accommodate displaced parking spaces.  All contaminated soils are contained and treated on site and then used for backfill.  The project is applying for LEED certification and aggressively recycles as much construction materials as possible, currently at a rate of 95%.
