What was your greatest professional accomplishment in 2012? : Stalco
Construction has continued its expansion in New York City and increased its
presence in the commercial office and healthcare markets. It currently has
nearly $80 million worth of on-going projects in New York City, including
the $24M renovation of the Vaughn College of Aeronautics, the $8M Battery
Park City Community Center, the $15M restoration of the Pier A, the $5M
Emergency Department at the Lincoln Medical Center, the $19M Elmhurst
Library, and the $1.8M College of Optometry labs.
What was your most notable project, deal or transaction in 2012? : The two
most interesting new projects in 2012 were the recently completed offices
of the law firm Lewis Johs Avallone Aviles, LLP in Islandia, NY and the
new, $19M School of Business at Farmingdale College SUNY. The law firm's
office was delivered on a very short schedule and encompassed installation
of an extensive telecommunications infrastructure and high-end finishes.
The construction of the School of Business continues uninterrupted despite
the damage caused by the Hurricane Sandy.
What are your predictions for commercial real estate in 2013? : I foresee
a cautious rebound in the commercial and industrial construction markets as
well as in the higher education construction. The K-12 construction market
in New York State will remain limited.
What are your resolutions for 2013? : Stalco is committed to improving the
community and will increase its charitable activities in 2013. Our children
and family-focused non-profit, Contractors For Kids, will hold an annual
fundraiser in March and we are hoping to raise enough funds to reach the
goal of $4 million in total monies contributed to CFK since its founding in
2005. Business-wise, Stalco will continue its expansion in the Greater New
York area, particularly in the commercial office, higher education and
healthcare markets.
