Construction is advancing on one of Lower Manhattan’s most significant resiliency infrastructure projects. Union contractors and carpenters with the New York City District Council of Carpenters are building the South Battery Park City Resiliency Project, a $231 million flood protection system designed to safeguard Lower Manhattan from storm surge and rising sea levels as part of the broader Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency initiative.

The first sections of reinforced concrete flood walls have now been formed and are being clad in stone between Pier A and Battery Place near the intersection of Broadway and State Street. The project will create a continuous protective barrier extending from the Museum of Jewish Heritage through Wagner Park and across Pier A Plaza. Construction is also progressing on South Cove and the South Esplanade as work advances into the next phases.

Across the site, union contractors and carpenters are performing concrete work, pile driving, marine construction, civil site improvements, and specialty installations. When complete, the project will provide a critical layer of protection for Lower Manhattan, helping safeguard neighborhoods, businesses, and public spaces against future coastal flooding.

One of the world’s great cultural institutions is in the midst of one of its most ambitious transformations. Union contractors and carpenters with the New York City District Council of Carpenters are transforming The Metropolitan Museum of Art through an expansive, multi year renovation program that is modernizing galleries, offices, conservation spaces, and public areas throughout the iconic Fifth Avenue campus.

A major accessibility improvement arrived ahead of schedule at one of Harlem’s busiest transit hubs. Forte Construction Corp. and union carpenters with the New York City District Council of Carpenters completed the replacement of three elevators at the 125th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue subway station, finishing the project two months early and expanding access for riders traveling on the A, B, C, and D lines throughout West and Central Harlem.

Completed as part of the MTA’s ongoing ADA accessibility program, the project replaced aging hydraulic elevators and upgraded supporting infrastructure including machine rooms and elevator shafts. The new elevators improve connections between street, mezzanine, and platform levels, strengthening reliable vertical access at a station that has served the neighborhood since 1932 and welcomes tens of thousands of riders on a typical weekday.

The early completion adds to Forte’s record of transit improvements in Harlem, following previous elevator replacement and systems modernization work at the 125th Street and Lexington Avenue station in 2017 and the 145th Street station in 2019. Through coordinated planning, skilled execution, and a focus on long term performance, union contractors and carpenters improved accessibility while strengthening a station that serves as an important gateway to Central Harlem and destinations such as the Apollo Theater.

One of New York’s busiest aviation hubs is being reimagined from the inside out. Union contractors and carpenters with the New York City District Council of Carpenters are building the $400 million expansion and $125 million commercial redevelopment of Terminal 8 at John F.

The project added approximately 130,000 square feet of new and renovated space, five new widebody gates, and a redesigned concessions program featuring locally inspired dining, retail, and upgraded digital experiences. The work strengthens Terminal 8’s role as JFK’s primary transatlantic hub as part of the Port Authority’s broader $19 billion airport transformation.

Union contractors and carpenters performed work throughout the terminal, including interior systems, flooring systems, architectural woodwork, metal and glass systems, specialty retail build outs, and passenger amenity spaces. Built with disciplined coordination and attention to long term performance, the project is shaping a travel environment designed to serve millions of passengers for decades to come.
