Upper Belvedere

LED Construction served as general contractor and project manager for a major structural rebuild and fourth-story addition, including new foundations, structural steel and finished interiors. Bandside Framers carried out the framing. The project was interrupted by the COVID-19 lockdowns. The completed home includes wood stairs with glass balustrades and a glass-railed roof deck.
