Upper West Side Dock-Based Drone Operations FAQ

Can you scan the ornate lobbies in Upper West Side pre-war buildings?
Yes, our NavVis and Matterport equipment captures the ornate plaster work, wood paneling, decorative ceilings, and classic details that make UWS lobbies distinctive. These grand entrance spaces are part of what residents and buyers value. We coordinate with doormen and schedule to avoid peak traffic times.
Do you work with Lincoln Center venues?
Yes, we work with performing arts venues for facility documentation, renovation planning, and virtual tour experiences. Our equipment handles the complex geometries of performance spaces including stages, seating areas, and back-of-house facilities. We coordinate with venue operations to minimize disruption.
What's a classic six apartment and how do you scan it?
A classic six is a pre-war layout with living room, dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and one more room (often maid's room or library). These apartments typically have high ceilings, oak floors, and original details. We capture all six rooms plus closets, hallways, and any special features. The pre-war character is what we highlight.
Can you document the Art Deco details on Central Park West towers?
Yes, iconic buildings like the San Remo, Eldorado, and Majestic have stunning Art Deco crowns, setbacks, and ornamental details. Our drone photogrammetry and ground-based scanning capture these architectural features for preservation documentation, facade assessment, and marketing purposes. LAANC authorization required.
How do Central Park views affect scanning in UWS apartments?
Central Park views through large windows are major selling points. Our Matterport Pro3 uses HDR processing to balance bright park views with interior lighting. For optimal results, we often recommend late afternoon captures when natural light is warm. The views that justify premium prices are showcased effectively.
