CEM Seminar

On October 15th, as part of a CEM seminar series, we had Brian Aronne, SVP/Project Executive at Hunter Roberts Construction Group on grounds! He talked about the challenges in the construction of Little Island at Pier 55 - The first-ever floating park in New York, which opened to the public on May 21st, 2021. The park floats above the Hudson River in New York City.

The project brought together a robust collaboration of local fabricators and contractors, who helped make the park vision a reality. A team of engineers, artisans, and tradespeople worked together to transform the park from a design concept to physical reality. The $260 million, 2.4-acre park — took more than five years to be built.
