History
For over two decades, our construction professionals have maintained a reputation for honesty, discipline, innovation and success.
ESRT Construction TRS L.L.C. (“ESRT Construction”) became the successor to Malkin Construction Corp. through the 2013 consolidation of certain companies which had been owned for decades by the Malkin family into a public REIT called Empire State Realty Trust. ESRT Construction’s experienced management team continues in place.
Through cycles and amidst competition, our construction professionals have earned a position of leadership in the industry.
Drawing upon decades of experience, ESRT Construction provides a unique understanding of the needs of clients, tenants, owners, architects, building managers and marketing agents and saves time and expense through skillful project management. Every dollar that is spent by our client is treated as if it were our own. Every project we take is backed by the reputation and strength of Empire State Realty Trust.
