Making an informed choice for the right project delivery method is crucial for construction success in New York City's competitive hospitality market. Whether seeking a quick, hands-off solution or a more collaborative, customized process, understanding the advantages and drawbacks of each approach is essential. The difference between these two popular project delivery options for high-end real estate investors: ‘Turnkey’ and ‘Design and Build’, can impact everything from timelines and costs to the level of involvement.

***Breathing new life into a vacant corner of East Harlem Tackling complex construction challenges head-on, the Affect team collaborated with expert specialty trades to deliver innovative solutions for a $9.3M residential project at 1638 Park Avenue, NY. This project brought new sleek and modern, much-needed housing to a community in Harlem NYC, including six affordable units within the 26-unit building. From groundbreaking in June 2022 to substantial completion in November 2023, the team stayed on course to achieve TCO by January 2024. Addressing the site’s environmental and logistical demands required in-depth coordination across disciplines. From advanced acoustic and environmental standards to the careful selection of materials, every aspect was meticulously managed. An integrated design and build approach guided the development to completion, resulting in a community-focused space that revitalizes its urban surroundings. “The team at Affect delivered this project on budget whilst maintaining to the strict 24-month schedule” - Ed Procter, Associate Director at Gardiner & Theobald Inc. ‘We are builders, thinkers, and makers’ - find out how our team addressed challenges with innovative solutions, strategic planning, and a focus on quality: https://lnkd.in/ezvWBkCm The Team: Architect of Record (AOR): Marin Architects Structural Engineer: Murray Engineering PC MEP-FP Engineer: TSF Engineering, P.C.
