Aragon Construction nears completion on 13,000 s/f

Aragon Construction, one of the leading New York City based general contracting and construction management firms, is putting the final touches on a large renovation of the general offices of Gallagher RE, a specialist reinsurance intermediary and advisory firm and subsidiary of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. Gallagher Re has inhabited the 13,000 s/f of space on the 18th floor of 14 Wall Street since April 2000, and did not relocate throughout the duration of the renovation. Working together with Joseph Calpo-Rivera of The Spector Group, Aragon altered a portion of the 18th floor in a 2-phase renovation. Phase 1 consisted of work during the day executing general renovations including repainting doors and trenching the floors for new workstations. Phase 2 took place at night, which included an entire lobby overhaul and complete renovation of the pantry area. Alex Getelman, founder and president of Aragon said, "This is always a rewarding kind of project for us, one where we are helping a client make better, more functional use of their existing space. Fortunately, Aragon has the expertise to renovate a space while a client is still in it without disrupting them or their work."
