Whitney Boykin

A leader in DeSimone’s façade and building envelope group and its resiliency practice, Whitney Boykin draws on 16 years of experience to deliver expert façade solutions for clients. He works closely with architects to refine design concepts and optimize system performance.

Whitney’s current projects include The Brook, a 600-foot mixed-use structure in Brooklyn, New York, and the iconic arched window façade of 520 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. He is also working on The Residences at Mandarin Oriental Miami, a highly complex project soon to begin construction in Miami, the planned supertall 70 Hudson Yards in Manhattan, and the addition and expansion of the Dallas Museum of Art.

Whitney previously served as project manager for the façade of the addition to One Wall Street, New York’s largest historic office-to-residential conversion to date, as well as Ha’il Water Tank Tower in Saudi Arabia, a glass structure with four brick corner columns, and the Turkevi Center, the Turkish Consulate in New York.
