The work
A full city block of senior living rising on Baldwin Avenue — 104,831 square feet of Type III wood framing across three stories. PJ Empire self-performs the complete rough carpentry package: every wall line, every floor, every piece of hardware, set by our own crews.
On a footprint this large, framing pace sets the project pace. Our crews run the deck in continuous sequence — layout, walls, shear, floor package — so the trades behind us are never waiting on wood.
