Our expansion is nearing completion – with more than 83% of the work done! The expansion of this New York icon has never been more critical to our industry – as more flexible, larger spaces are needed for today’s environment. #expandyourexperience

Our 61 union brothers & sisters in the @NYCBldgTrades we lost on September 11, 2001 are forever in our hearts and will always be remembered at the permanent Hardhat Memorial dedicated to them at the office of the Building & Construction Trades Council of Greater NY. #NeverForget
