Headquartered in New York City, Harco Construction LLC has spearheaded a range of full-service property development projects including the completion of numerous downtown high-rise buildings. One of Harco Construction LLC’s recent successes is the Marriott Renaissance Hotel in Midtown New York.

During its development and construction, this hotel project drew the attention of media outlets that ranged from the online news sources Traveling for Miles and Successful Meetings to the venerable Wall Street Journal. These news sources paid particular attention to the hotel’s use of state of the art technology.

Marriott’s Renaissance brand caters specifically to younger business travelers who value technology and culture. The Marriott Renaissance New York Midtown answers this call by greeting visitors from either 34th Street or 35th Street with digital displays that create a dynamic visual tapestry over the course of a block-long corridor. This living wall changes in response to the presence and movement of people nearby.

Another technological note at the Marriott Renaissance New York Midtown is its comprehensive Navigator system. Accessible through an interactive “Navigator Table” in an alcove located near the hotel’s 34th street entrance, the Navigator acts as a virtual concierge that gives guests the opportunity to investigate nearby points of interest.

A prominent real estate development company in New York City, Harco Construction LLC provides a range of solutions for clients seeking a streamlined building process. The recipient of numerous awards for its projects, Harco Construction LLC received the 2018 Best Adaptive Reuse MASterworks Award from the Municipal Arts Society of New York for its Empire Stores development.

Located on the waterfront between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, the Empire Stores site consists of seven Civil War-era warehouses that sat abandoned for more than 50 years. Once a symbol of the prosperity of 19th century Brooklyn, the massive complex has once again become a bustling economic hub.

Finished in 2017, the new Empire Stores complex features 450,000 square feet of office, retail, and dining space, as well as art galleries and public spaces that are drawing residents and visitors around the clock. A stunning example of adaptive re-use, the new Empire Stores finds a way to honor the complex’s history while also transforming the space into a 21st century hub that supports commerce and community.
