John Gallin & Son is a recipient of Anchin, Block & Anchin LLP's 2015 Legacy Award for fiscal strength, longevity and stability over multiple generations.
Gallin president Christopher Gallin and VP of production Michael Gallin were in attendance at the awards ceremony at Club 101 in NYC with keynote speaker Carmen Bianco, president of Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) NYC Transit.
"John Gallin & Son is honored to receive The Legacy Award from such a prestigious organization. The award is meaningful to us on many levels as it recognizes our commitment to providing quality construction services spanning five generations," said Christopher Gallin.
John Gallin & Son is one of the oldest continuously family-owned companies in America, and one of the oldest family-owned contractors in New York. Now in its fifth generation of management, Gallin has grown from a 1:1 family-owned business to one with four partners.
Including five fourth generation management professionals and four fifth generation entry-level staff. Gallin's legacy is evident not only in the Gallin name, but also in four other family names who have been working with the company through several generations since 1886.

"As a member of John Gallin & Son's fourth generation of leadership, I realize that Legacy is not about looking back over the 129 years of history and saying, 'job well done' but rather looking back and saying 'Job well started.' Legacy means more about building for the future than resting on the accomplishments of the past. As we continue to build upon the good work of past generations, we also prepare the next generation to move up and make their mark."

Presented in cooperation with the New York Building Congress (NYBC), the American Council of Engineering Companies of New York (ACEC-NY) and the American Institute of Architects New York Chapter (AIA-NY), Anchin, Block & Anchin LLP's annual New York Construction Awards connect and highlight the accomplishments of Construction, Design and Development industry leaders. The awards categories include the Industry Impact Awards, Legacy Award, Rising Star Awards, Outstanding Public Service Award and Outstanding MWBE Award.
