Central Construction nears completion of façade restoration at 30 Broad St.

Manhattan, NY Central Construction is finishing an all-encompassing project at the historic Financial District office tower, 30 Broad St. For nearly two years, the work on the 50-story building has encompassed extensive corner and parapet rebuilding, structural steel reinstallations and repairs, and select terrace replacements.

Central Construction worked on the project with building ownership, Tribeca Associates, LLC, CBRE Management, and building enclosure consultant CANY.

“This multi-phase, multi-year project is coming to fruition and we are proud of the accomplishments of our supervisors and crew,” said Michael DiFonzo, president, Central Construction. “Safely bringing the building back to its original luster was a full team effort requiring both skill and patience.”

The Art Deco style office tower opened in 1932 in the Financial District. Formerly known as the Continental Bank Building, the 476,000 s/f structure stands 564 ft. high and is located next to the New York Stock Exchange, stretching along Broad St., Exchange Pl., and New St.

“We have had the privilege of working with a dedicated group of professionals on this project,” said Andrew Bardolf, principal, Central Construction. “All of us appreciate how much this stately building has been an integral part of our city’s glamorous history. Seen in multiple films over the decades, it was notably called the ‘Larrabee Building’ in the 1954 Oscar-winning 1954 version of ‘Sabrina,’ starring Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn and William Holden.”
