The Vendome

Mechanical and Electrical Upgrades Underway at the Historic Vendome

Hemenway Construction has started work on common area mechanical upgrades at the historic Vendome in the Back Bay. Work on the landmark building, originally constructed in the 19th century will include the replacement of the common air HVAC equipment. Due to the age of the building, the project requires a new electrical service for these upgraded machines. Hemenway will be shutting down power to the building and working on the building's switchgear. This requires advanced notice and planning with contingencies in place such as a back-up generator. New lines sent to the rooftops will also require demolition and when complete finish work.

At project completion, there will be a new 10,000 CFM HVAC make up air unit covering the entire expanse of common area spaces for the condominium and retail units within the building.
