Velez Organization has served as a trusted construction partner to the Hudson River Park Trust for nearly a decade, delivering a wide range of projects along the Hudson River waterfront under both dedicated construction management assignments and an ongoing on-call general construction contract. This long-term relationship reflects Velez’s ability to execute diverse scopes — from major esplanade construction to structural repairs and park amenity upgrades — while keeping one of Manhattan’s most heavily used public spaces safe, accessible, and open to the public throughout construction.
