Related Beal recently completed a substantial renovation and addition to 33 Congress Street, part of the “vertical urban campus” of the revitalized Congress Square in Downtown Boston. Once home to the world headquarters of Fidelity Investments, this property encompasses a full city block and is comprised of five interconnected buildings. Formally nine-stories in height, 33 Congress was gut renovated from the inside out and stacked with a new eight-story, vertical curtainwall addition.

Providing services directly to Related Beal as well as general contractor Consigli, Code Red Consultants prepared detailed NFPA 241 Construction Fire Safety & Impairment Plans to ensure that fire safety was properly maintained throughout the construction process. Code Red Consultants then developed a comprehensive Phased Occupancy Plan and Building Evacuation Plan that was approved by the Authority Having Jurisdiction, allowing the building to be occupied in phases while still under construction. Code Red Consultants also provided consulting services for all phases of the project, including assisting Elkus Manfredi (interiors architect) with the development of assembly permit drawings and collaborating with the installing fire alarm contractor to generate phased fire alarm design drawings Serving in a consulting role, Code Red Consultants provided valuable guidance, insight and expertise for this complex adaptive reuse project in the heart of downtown Boston.
