Roosevelt Island Octagon
The Octagon opened on Roosevelt Island in 1841 as an island retreat and was later transformed into the Metropolitan Hospital. The hospital closed in 1955 and the building subsequently fell into disrepair. The NYC LPC designated the Octagon Tower an individual landmark in 1976. In 2006, as part of a full scale adaptive reuse to turn the building into residences, Norfast designed the temporary shoring and stabilization of the octagon walls. Norfast also produced shop drawings for the building's new GFRP, cast stone, and waterproofing.

323 Greenwich Street
323 Greenwich Street, which lies within the Tribeca West Historic District, needed a complete façade restoration. Norfast began with a master plan that identified each element and options for restoration or replacement. Together with the client we developed a plan that was within his budget and true to the original architecture. The project included window replacement, replacement of the deteriorated brownstone with rock-faced cast stone, restoration of the sheet metal cornice, cleaning and painting. Nicholson & Galloway, Inc. completed the construction project in four months.
