Stadium Row Condominiums - $5M Waterfall Conversion
Led the end-to-end delivery of a $5M large-scale condominium conversion using a traditional PMBOK-aligned Waterfall methodology. The project required strict budget governance, critical path schedule control, and coordination of 45+ professionals to deliver a fixed-financing development under budget and on schedule despite supply chain disruptions.
Year :
2017
Industry :
Real Estate Development / Construction
Client :
Real Estate Development Entity
Project Duration :
Multi-phase construction lifecycle
Problem :
The project operated under a rigid fixed-financing structure where any schedule slip increased carrying costs and any budget overrun directly reduced investor equity. Managing 45+ professionals, including architects, engineers, general contractors, and subcontractors, created high risk for scope creep, misalignment, and cascading schedule delays. Long-lead procurement items and supply chain volatility further threatened the critical path and Certificate of Occupancy timeline.
Solution :
I implemented a disciplined Waterfall project management approach grounded in PMBOK governance. This included zero-based budgeting, a formal Change Order Control Board with mandatory cost offsets, and phase-gate reviews to prevent uncontrolled scope expansion. An integrated master schedule with critical path tracking was maintained throughout the construction phase, with early procurement of long-lead items to mitigate supply chain risk. Formalized communication protocols ensured consistent alignment across all stakeholder groups.
Challenge :
A major supply chain disruption threatened to delay custom window installation by six weeks, placing the Certificate of Occupancy milestone at risk. To protect the critical path, I resequenced the construction schedule, implemented temporary weatherproofing, and advanced interior workstreams to maintain productivity. This pivot preserved schedule integrity without triggering budget overruns or contract renegotiations.
Summary :
The project was delivered 3% under the $5M budget, achieved 100% schedule milestone adherence, and successfully coordinated 45+ professionals without major conflicts or scope creep. Luxury-grade units were delivered on time, setting a new comparable sales benchmark for the neighborhood. The project established a scalable Waterfall governance model for future large-scale real estate developments, reinforcing investor confidence and operational predictability.
