Loew’s Theater

Client: Phelps Construction
Location: Jersey City, NJ

Project Overview: Our team provided comprehensive LiDAR scanning and a Matterport 3D tour to document the existing conditions of the historic Loews Theater before renovation began. This digital baseline supported design coordination and stakeholder communication across multiple trades, including direct collaboration with Phelps Construction and several of its subcontractors.

We continue to capture regular construction progress updates. High-resolution LiDAR data is central to workflows for MEPFP coordination and curtain fabrication—ensuring precision and reducing rework in this complex architectural environment.

As part of the restoration process, we also performed detailed LiDAR scans of all stage and house curtains to assist a specialty fabricator in measuring and matching historically accurate draperies prior to fabrication and installation.

Services Provided:

  • LiDAR point clouds (.e57/.RCP)
  • Matterport 3D virtual walkthrough
  • Periodic construction progress documentation
  • Data integration for MEP and fabrication teams
  • Historic drapery scanning and measurement support

Impact & Value:

  • Streamlined design decisions and minimized rework
  • Enhanced stakeholder communication with immersive documentation
  • Supported preservation of the venue’s architectural integrity
  • Improved coordination across trades
  • Enabled precise reproduction of historic curtains

Technology Utilized:

  • Equipment: Leica RTC360, Matterport Pro3, DJI Mavic 3E
  • Processing Software: Leica Cyclone, Matterport Cloud, Revit, DroneDeploy
