New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has announced that construction on the much-anticipated $1 billion Jacob K. Javits Center expansion could begin as early as this year, according to The Real Deal.
Cuomo said contractors can go ahead with their submittals for the three-story, 1.2-million-square foot renovation, and his administration will select the winner sometime in the fourth quarter of this year.
Three contractor teams were invited to submit bids: Skanska USA, Gilbane Building Company and the joint venture of Turner Construction-Lendlease.
