Location: Bronx, NY

Delivery Method: Construction Management

LEED: Gold

Velez Organization is serving as Construction Manager for The Hip Hop Museum in joint venture with PMG (Pavarini McGovern), delivering the project under a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) / GMP arrangement. The 61,000 SF museum is a publicly funded cultural institution located within the Bronx Point mixed-use development in the South Bronx, financed through a combination of public grants and private funding. The facility features immersive exhibition galleries, a black box theater, educational spaces, café and retail areas, administrative offices, collections storage, and complete MEP, AV, and exhibit systems.

During preconstruction, Velez played a key role in project planning and execution, including community engagement, grant compliance and funding coordination, subcontractor prequalification and selection, procurement support, schedule development, logistics planning, constructability reviews, and coordination with the Owner, design team, and project stakeholders. During construction, Velez continues to provide day-to-day project leadership through an onsite project manager and lead superintendent responsible for field operations, quality control, inspections, subcontractor coordination, schedule management, and safety oversight. Velez also provides executive-level leadership through active participation in project governance, strategic planning, and client relations to help ensure successful delivery of this landmark cultural facility.
