ALINA Residences

LUXURY CONDOMINIUM RETREAT

Boca Raton, Florida

ALINA is a 590,000-square-foot condominium retreat featuring private residences, penthouses, and villas overlooking the historic Boca Raton Resort and Club golf course and downtown Boca Raton. The landscape is tropical, the architecture flows along gardens, terraces and canopies, and the amenities are resort-style.

Ceco Concrete provided full concrete frame services plus masonry and excavation. The scope of work included supplying and installing 27,500 cubic yards of concrete, 883,000 square feet of troweled slabs, and 170,000 masonry blocks. Ceco also provided value engineering and design-assist services, helping devise a solution to ensure the deep balconies had proper drainage. The Ceco team was heavily involved in the coordination of structural and architectural models.

Ceco used a flat plate structural system for the 9-story building. The flat plate system is the most economical choice for multi-unit residential work and accommodates bay sizes up to 30 x 30 feet. Formwork systems used included Ceco’s CEFCO perimeter tables and Speed Deck.

The site’s soil was poisoned with arsenic from fertilizers used in the 1960s to maintain the golf course, which was built in the 1920s. As a result, careful coordination of excavation and foundation construction work was critical. The contaminated soil was stored in a separate area onsite and covered to prevent the wind from blowing it offsite. Foundation crews had to wash their hands and boots often to prevent contamination.

Additionally, because the project followed a fast-track schedule, Ceco used two full crews to frame multiple areas simultaneously. This strategy enabled the team to accelerate work and complete the project in less than a year.
