SHED Innovation, the New York City-based infrastructure design and distribution firm, announced the successful completion of two pilot installations of its Halo scaffolding system at 210 Fifth Avenue and 1132 Broadway in Manhattan.

Engineered for speed, simplicity, and a cleaner urban footprint, Halo combines a proprietary screwless, pin-based system with a refined structural aesthetic, that can be assembled and disassembled in roughly half the time of other shed systems. Through its leasing model, SHED makes Halo available directly to contractors, allowing property owners to work through trusted partners and adopt the system without the upfront costs or logistical hurdles of ownership.

The early results and feedback have been consistently positive. Retail tenants and nearby businesses pointed to the structure’s lighter footprint and improved street-level visibility. The pilots also showed measurable gains in efficiency, with shorter setup windows, reduced labor needs, and lower total costs compared to both luxury and conventional shed systems.

“The pilots were a chance to see Halo perform in the environment it was built for,” said Marco Libani, co-founder of SHED Innovation. “We’ve always believed that smarter engineering and simpler assembly could make scaffolding more efficient, more cost-effective, and less disruptive for the city. Seeing that play out on active sites confirmed that Halo delivers on all three.”

SHED plans to expand deployments across additional sites in 2026 as it continues working with property owners and contractors, including union contractors, citywide.
