Agoda new space on the 66th floor of the Empire State Building.

Manhattan, NY James E. Fitzgerald, Inc. has completed its general contracting work for the headquarters of Agoda, an online travel company. The project comprised an overhaul of the full 66th floor of the Empire State Building with a team including Vocon Architecture, MG Engineering and Jones Lang LaSalle Inc.
