Balcony Repairs

The Thorndale Beach North Condominium, also known as the Bob Newhart Building, is a 16-story residential structure. The building features exterior walls composed of exposed concrete structural elements, including columns and projecting balconies, along with masonry cladding and aluminum-framed windows and balcony doors. The structural system consists of conventional reinforced, cast-in-place concrete framing, with eight-inch-thick flat slabs that extend outward to form balconies on all elevations. The facade is further complemented by brick veneer masonry cladding, contributing to the building’s overall architectural character.
