Overview

Project overview

1838 Brand Boulevard in Glendale is an 80-unit multifamily development combining dense urban residential programming with the amenity expectations of a contemporary product: a two-level subterranean garage, rooftop deck, and fitness center.

Horine Group was engaged for construction management as Owner’s Representative and for review of the General Contractor’s monthly payment applications—the same ownership-side discipline applied on comparable multifamily work in the portfolio.

On Brand Boulevard, visibility matters. The corridor, the density, and the construction interface with a busy urban environment all increase the cost of miscommunication. Owner’s representation keeps decision-making grounded in what is actually happening on site.

Objective

The objective

Give ownership experienced construction leadership and independent pay-app scrutiny so an 80-unit Brand Boulevard multifamily project stays coordinated through subterranean parking, vertical construction, and amenity finish.

Challenge

The challenge

Urban multifamily on a primary corridor brings logistics constraints that residential projects on quieter sites may avoid: staging, neighbor interfaces, access, and the pressure to keep construction productive without disrupting the surrounding commercial environment.

As with other ownership-side assignments, the financial challenge is inseparable from the field challenge. Payment applications must track reality. Change exposure must be understood early. Progress must be measured against a plan that still makes sense as conditions evolve.

Scope

Horine Group’s role

Construction management as Owner’s Representative
Review of General Contractor monthly payment applications
Oversight of two-level subterranean garage construction
Coordination of rooftop deck and fitness center delivery with the residential program
Ongoing issue resolution and stakeholder communication

Approach

How the work was structured

Horine Group’s approach mirrors the firm’s broader Owner’s Representative model: stay close to the work, keep ownership informed with usable information, and treat monthly billing as a control point rather than a clerical exercise.

On an 80-unit urban site, that means watching interfaces carefully—structure to envelope, garage to podium, amenity spaces to common circulation—so problems are identified while there is still time to correct course without rewriting the schedule.

Critical issues

Key challenges along the way

Urban construction logistics on Brand Boulevard—managed through active field coordination and Owner’s Representative oversight.

Cost and progress transparency—maintained through rigorous monthly payment application review.

Outcome

The result

Horine Group provides ongoing construction management and payment-application review as Owner’s Representative for the Glendale multifamily program—helping ownership maintain control as the project advances through garage, structure, and amenity construction.
