Luxury Condominiums – Page 3 – The Horton Standard

Are you looking for an office space or residence, but none seem just right? There is no need to compromise. Build-to-suit (BTS) developments offer extreme flexibility, as a given room or building can be shaped to meet the various wants and needs for you or your business.

Build-to-suit properties are most often commercial leases, but can also be found in residential developments. With BTS, the landlord or developer builds to a tenant’s specifications. During construction the tenant is allowed the freedom to dictate his or her future space, as long as changes do not interfere with the structural and mechanical systems. Buyers or tenants can make significant changes through the restructuring of walls, rooms, and closets. Decisions on aesthetics, including finishes, appliances, and color scheme, are also made during the BTS process.

At Horton Group, we aim to please by offering build-to-suit developments. If you’re looking for a commercial property that can be built to meet your company’s needs, check out 350 Goose Lane Office Park. Our luxury condominium units at The Residences at 66 High Street can also be altered to fit your family’s needs.

New construction, whether it is for a single family home, small business, or large complex, requires builders and companies to follow strict guidelines to ensure safety for all involved.

Every building is classified as a construction type based on the materials used to build and the fire resistance rating of the materials. The five main types of construction are outlined below:

Type I – Fire Resistive
Type II – Non-Combustible
Type III – Ordinary (Exterior Protected)
Type IV – Heavy Timber
Type V – Wood Frame

In our ongoing luxury project, The Residences at 66 High Street, we build to fit guidelines of Type II-B construction. Type II-B construction is an uncommon form of construction in Luxury Real Estate condominium developments such as this. The walls and roof are constructed from non-combustible materials, such as masonry, tilt slab, or metal. Weight bearers in Type II-B buildings are typically steel beams.

Type II-B construction is one of the reasons The Residences at 66 High Street has won the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Connecticut’s distinguished HOBI Awards for:
