Bellet Construction retained by Salvation Army for restoration project

New York, NY Bellet Construction has been selected by the Salvation Army for the exterior restoration of 120 West 14^th St., an Art Deco building that is the NY headquarters of the non-profit organization, as well as the home of the Centennial Memorial Temple, featuring a 1,350-seat performance center.

After winning the competitive bid from a field of exterior contractors, Bellet Construction was chosen to restore the unique 16-story, 182,254 s/f thru-block building, which has 150 linear ft. of frontage on West 14^th St. and 100 linear ft. of frontage on West 13^th St.

The Salvation Army Building, which was designated a NYC landmark in 2017, features a mosaic of materials along its four façades, comprising limestone, marble, cast stone, and brick masonry. Bellet will be implementing restoration and preservation repairs throughout the façade.

“We are honored to have this revered organization put its faith in our ability to bring their beautiful center back to peak status,” said Wayne Bellet, president of Bellet. “As a Landmark Preservation Commission-approved contractor, we have a long history of restoring façades in landmark properties where the workmanship is already exceptional.”

NYC Department of Buildings repair drawings were filed in 2021, including a complete set of drawings by the engineering consultant, and a Performance Bond has been issued. The restoration project is scheduled to commence in early spring 2022 and is anticipated to be completed before the end of the year.
