November 2011, Point Nexus signed an agreement with Crosby Property Management Inc. of Vancouver BC to perform a maintenance needs assessment of Stirling Place East, a 24 story residential high-rise in New Westminster. Stirling Place is a 17 year old concrete building with extruded aluminum framed windows and painted concrete main structure. The needs assessment was in response to a resident survey completed by Crosby Property Management that found a number of residents had noted minor water issues with a small number of significant issues as well.
Crosby Property Management is one of the Vancouver lower mainland’s premier management companies and prides itself in providing the best advice and services to strata managers and owners.
Point Nexus Consulting is a project development and facilitation company with many years of commercial and residential building maintenance and remediation experience. Point Nexus’ Construction Division specializes in water ingress issues including being a leading advocate for maintenance programs and educational information designed to mitigate future issues with glass high-rise buildings. These are mostly residential high rise towers that have been built with low cost and low quality glass curtain wall assemblies and are beginning to show significant signs of air and water envelope breakdown. These could and most likely will be a signficant problem and cost for strata owners as these glass-walled buildings age.
