Aragon Construction completes 5,700 s/f build-out for fitness center

New York, NY Aragon Construction, New York City's premiere general contracting and construction management firm, recently completed a 5,700 s/f build-out for a boutique fitness center at Stuyvesant Town, located at 520 East 20th St. in Manhattan. Aragon had just 6 weeks to demolish the old space, previously inhabited by a D'agostino supermarket, to build out the new showpiece for the fitness center, which opened exclusively to residents of Peter Cooper Village and Stuyvesant Town.

Working together with S.M. Berger Architecture P.C., and interior architecture design firm Cetra/Ruddy, Inc., Aragon delivered a new fitness center consisting of a main exercise floor with weights and machines - along with aerobics and yoga rooms, a relaxation lounge and locker rooms with shower facilities for men and women. The new 14-foot, floor to ceiling elegant storefront offers phenomenal views of Peter Cooper's skyline.

"This project was challenging in that it had to be finished within extreme time constraints," said Aragon's Joseph Lopardo, account executive on the project. "That said, in just six weeks, we completed a state-of-the-art fitness center, with a complete new infrastructure and sleek finishes."
