Environmental consultant Zapansky on shadow impacts

Christina Zapansky of GZA Environmental addresses shadow concerns, confirming the building will cast shadows on the neighboring building for several hours in late afternoon to early evening during spring and summer months, which she characterizes as a normal result of building in the city.

Christina Zapansky

Yes, so there was some concern by the neighbor about shadows on the building.

Christina Zapansky

And while the building will be casting, our project site will be casting shadows on the neighboring building, particularly in the spring and summer months.

Christina Zapansky

For several hours in the late afternoon to the early evening.

That's the result of, you know, building next door to another building in the city.
