New York City-based general contracting and construction management company Aragon Construction recently completed a full floor build-out for an international financial services firm. Aragon, working together with architectural and interior design firm Ted Moudis Associates, delivered the 8,000 square foot floor in only 11 weeks.
The new space, which includes executive boardrooms, private offices and a lounge, is serving as this international firm's New York executive offices. Nearly every surface of the entire floor contains cabinetry and niche millwork; exotic woods and stones such as rosewood and onyx were used throughout. A state of-the art boardroom features a drop down projector from the ceiling and fabric-wrapped walls for sound control. The office also contains cast glass walls, a special area for artwork and high-end plaster finishes.
“The new office is truly a showpiece space that has a luxury, residential feel,” says Aragon President Alex Getelman. Many of the materials we utilized were very complicated in terms of matching and fitting. Every surface of this space had to be perfectly coordinated so that once the woodwork was fabricated; it could be slipped into place in a flawless and seamless way.”
Kenneth D. Rapp and Ramsey Feher of CB Richard Ellis represented the financial services firm - which in February relocated to their new space in a Vornado Realty. Trust-owned building in Midtown, on Park Avenue - in the 10-year lease transaction. “The building offers one of the most incredible set backs off of Park Avenue and the vistas from their presentation board room are phenomenal,” says Feher. “The client is thrilled with their new offices.”
Said the financial company’s Global Manager for Facility Engineering and Real Estate: “Working with Vornado was one of the real pleasures of this project and they are truly one of the finer landlords. Not only were they unbelievably compatible with our needs and worked to solve a number of challenges involved in this project, but they also came to weekly construction meetings and became a vital part of our solutions team.”
