Mosaic Ultra Urban Living Apartments

Dallas, TX

Completion Date: December 2007

“Without question, the GAF team was extremely instrumental in completing this very complex project. From beginning to end, GAF provided the support when needed.”

Catherine Awtrey, president and owner, Texas Roof Management Inc.

Building Overview

The Mosaic project involved the 2007 renovation of the former Fidelity Union Bank and Insurance complex, two vacant downtown Dallas office towers. Mosaic is one of Dallas’ most striking high-rise residential communities.

The Challenge

Poor access between the 15 different roof levels situated between the building’s two towers.
Many roof perimeters included only a gravel guard edge, beyond which was a drop-off at 230 to 410 feet to street level.
All roofs required removal of up to four layers of existing roofing containing asbestos, coal tar pitch, and fiberglass insulation.
Inadequate drainage and severe ponding water existed on every roof level.

Solution

Despite complexities, the project was completed on time, within budget, and with no punch-list items.
Properly designed and installed, EnergyGuard™ Tapered Polyiso Foam Insulation Systems offer high thermal efficiency and virtually eliminate ponding water.
Lightweight and durable, RUBEROID® SBS Heat-Weld 25 combines the strength of fiberglass reinforcement with the elongation characteristics of SBS modified asphalt.
Self-adhered modified bitumen roof systems are clean and environmentally friendly.
System is backed by a 20-year Diamond Pledge NDL (no-dollar-limit) Guarantee from GAF.*
