Bast Hatfield Construction, a leading self-performing general contractor based in New York's Capital Region, has completed a significant 300-cubic-yard concrete pour in downtown Troy, NY. This milestone marks a major step in the construction of a new luxury apartment complex overlooking the Hudson River. The project is being developed by The BDC Group, a respected real estate and construction management firm headquartered in Latham, NY.

Situated on Troy's vibrant and historic riverfront, this multi-family residential project blends upscale urban living with sustainable construction. The large-scale concrete pour, carried out by Bast Hatfield's in-house crews, forms the structural foundation for a building that will offer sweeping river views and proximity to Troy's thriving downtown scene.

Self-Performed Expertise in Action

As a self-performing contractor, Bast Hatfield handled BHC concrete foundations & flatwork, metal stud framing, siding, and brick veneer. Their ability to self-perform key trades like concrete ensures tight quality control, schedule reliability, and cost efficiency. The pour required detailed planning and execution using high-strength, ready-mix concrete from a local supplier, applied in a continuous flow for optimal curing and strength.
