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.

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

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.
