Omnibuild Launches Gut Renovation of Landmarked 122 Fifth Ave.
New York City-based building and construction company Omnibuild has launched construction at 122 Fifth Ave. in Manhattan’s Union Square. Partnering with developer Bromley Companies and STUDIOS Architecture, the full-scale renovation seeks to modernize the historic building from the inside out.
The gut renovation will feature new MEP systems and equipment and passenger elevators with touchless technology. Brick masonry and precast stone will clad a new, 10-story addition along 17th Street to match that of the existing building’s landmarked façade. The main roof will include a new single-story steel and glass enclosed pavilion pop-up, surrounded by green space, landscape lighting and seating areas.
“We are modernizing this notable building while also maintaining its historic integrity,” said John Mingione, Omnibuild principal and COO. “This project brings the old and new together in an exciting way for New York.”
Dating from 1899, 122 Fifth was designated a New York City Landmark in 1989.
