Restoration of landmarked Pavilion at Orchard Beach, The Riviera of New York

Gilbane is providing construction management services to restore this historic 1936 Bronx landmark. This project is the first step in the city’s efforts to help restore an iconic location to its former function and glory. The services include structural demolition, reconstruction of concrete columns, reconstruction of roof slabs, restoration and preservation of approximately 1,200 pieces of existing blue stone pavers throughout the lower quadrant and promenade, and updates to outdated MEP systems. Rehabilitated areas include structural repairs, façade restoration, and ADA-compliant ramps.
