Progressive Design Build Project for the Modernization of Hylan Houses

Hylan Houses is single-building, 209-unit New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) housing development that is home to approximately 416 residents.  It is the fourth property to join the Trust and the first to use Progressive Design-Build (PDB) for project delivery. 

PDB is a collaborative, multi-phased project delivery method where the owner retains a design-builder early in the project lifecycle using a primarily qualifications-based selection.  After a preliminary scoping and site validation phase, the project team “progresses” toward a design and construction contract price together, emphasizing transparency and partnership in developing the project’s final scope, schedule, and cost.
