Aufgang Architects Ranked Second Among NYC’s Top Architects in New Building Projects

Published

on

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY – A Rockland County based firm ranks second among the top architects with projects in New York City. Aufgang Architects with headquarters in Suffern had new projects totaling 3,299,418 square feet in New York City which placed it in the number two spot in 2024 among all architects.

“We saw demand increase for our designs across a spectrum of development projects–market-rate multifamily, office conversions into housing and ground up affordable housing, as developers increasingly utilized new abatements and affordability programs,” Aufgang principal Ariel Aufgang said.

The ranking of top architectural firms was compiled by The Real Deal based on permits filed with the NYC Department of Buildings.

“In the past 22 years Aufgang Architects has designed more than 22 million square feet of built space including over 14,000 units of affordable housing,” said Aufgang.

The firm’s recent major projects include urban planning and designs of the first two multifamily buildings at Edgemere Commons, a 9.1 acre site in Far Rockaway, Queens, where a total of 2,050 affordable units are being developed.

“Our firm also designed the recent conversion of the former JFK Airport Hilton Hotel into 318 units of permanent, supportive and affordable housing in South Jamaica, Queens,” said Aufgang.

“In addition to our growing urban planning and engineering work, we expanded our business last year with the addition of Aurae, our new subsidiary specializing in bespoke designs for luxury lifestyles,” said Aufgang.

Since its establishment in 1971, Aufgang Architects has become known for its thoughtful, creative approach while also recognizing the importance of environmental sustainability in all aspects of design and engineering. Technology, including innovative proprietary artificial intelligence applications, enhances the firm’s approach to creating comfortable, safe and sustainable buildings as it strives to provide high quality, cost-effective and marketable design solutions to meet its clients’ objectives.

First Look at the Upcoming Chick-fil-A in Nanuet

Published

on

NANUET, NY — Construction is well underway for the highly anticipated Chick-fil-A restaurant coming to Nanuet, bringing excitement to fast food fans and local residents alike. Located at 70 E Route 59 Nanuet, NY, the new Chick-fil-A is poised to become a major draw in the heart of Nanuet and Clarkstown.

The project broke ground earlier this year and has made significant progress in recent weeks. Heavy machinery, framing, and foundation work have transformed the previously vacant lot into an active construction zone. Crews are now working on erecting the main structure of the building, with signage up and the drive-thru installations work in progress.

This location will be the first stand-alone Chick-fil-A in Rockland County, residents who previously had to travel to locations at the Sloatsburg rest stop or in New Jersey.

Chick-fil-A is known for its signature chicken sandwiches, waffle fries, and customer service — and the Nanuet location is expected to feature a double drive-thru lane to help manage high traffic volumes, especially during lunch and dinner hours.

While an official opening date has not yet been announced, sources close to the project estimate a grand opening in early fall of 2025.

Stay tuned to the Rockland Report for more updates.
