- Smith-Midland wins $5.5 million SlenderWall contract in major New York redevelopment project. Smith-Midland Corporation today announces a contract win to provide architectural precast concrete cladding products and services, including Smith-Midland’s proprietary SlenderWall system for use in a 19 story multi-family structure in New Rochelle, New York. The 219-unit project designed by the architectural firm, Stephen B. Jacobs Group, will utilize over 72,000 square feet of white acid-etch finished SlenderWall architectural precast panels in combination with 15,000 square feet of traditional architectural precast to clad the exterior of the structure. Both products will be manufactured under PCI certified guidelines in Smith-Midland’s flagship Virginia plant. “Our strength in the New York and New Jersey markets continues with this project for Glenwood. We have completed a cluster of great projects along the Hudson River in the past five years, and we hope to duplicate that pattern with our project in the New Rochelle redevelopment initiative. We are focused on growing our proprietary, lightweight SlenderWall cladding business and continue to add value for our clients as we expand our pre-fabrication and customization offerings including options for preinstalled insulation, wall studs and windows,” said Chief Executive Officer, Ashley Smith.
