Whom You Know was honored to cover this year's Chairman's Award Luncheon held yesterday, May 9, 2012 at The Metropolitan Club. The Conservancy honored STV and Tishman Construction with its Chairman’s Award. The Chairman’s Award recognizes exceptional business leaders and companies that have demonstrated their dedication to protecting New York’s rich architectural heritage – the iconic buildings and diverse neighborhoods – that define this vibrant and extraordinary City. Peg noted in her introduction that this has been the most successful luncheon in the history of the organization, raising $270,000 and this is the first time the award has been given in anticipation of the work that will be accomplished! We also liked how Peg pointed out that the greenest building is the one already here.
STV and Tishman Construction have been selected to provide construction management services and rail expertise for phase one of the Moynihan Station project, the new rail facility to be constructed within the landmark Farley Post Office building.
When completed, Moynihan Station will be a preservation success story combining a 21st century train station and a magnificent historic edifice, providing a new and grand entrance to New York. We absolutely cannot wait to see it!
The Conservancy has been at the forefront of the campaign for Moynihan Station since the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan first proposed the project in 1993. It helped secure $83.3 million in federal funding for phase one of the project, which includes vital underground work that will expand the connection from Penn Station.
STV, celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, has won three Lucy G. Moses Awards – the Conservancy’s highest honor for outstanding preservation efforts – for restoring the Roosevelt House at Hunter College, the Coney Island Parachute Jump Tower and Curtis High School on Staten Island. Dr. Milo Riverso, President and CEO, accepted on behalf of STV.
Tishman Construction is one of the nation’s leading construction management firms. They won a Moses Award for the renovation of the landmark Verizon Building at 140 West Street, damaged on 9/11. They also restored the Carnegie Concert Hall, to name just two of the many preservation projects in which they have been involved. Jay Badame, President and COO, accepted for Tishman Construction.
Previous Chairman’s Award recipients include: Christopher Ward (Port Authority), Cartier, Inc., the Hearst Corporation, Arthur L. Carter, Aby Rosen, Robert Levine, Donald Oresman, Frank J. Sciame, Jr., Tony Goldman and Robert Selsam of Boston Properties.
