Banker Steel Awarded Contract for One Vanderbilt Project in Manhattan

[Banker Steel], one of the country's leading structural steel fabrication and erection companies, announced today that it has been awarded the structural steel framing contract for the prestigious One Vanderbilt project in New York City. One Vanderbilt will be a new, 1464-foot high, 1.6 million square feet building located at 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue, immediately adjacent to Grand Central Terminal. Slated for completion in 2020, One Vanderbilt will completely transform the New York skyline and the experience of those in the Grand Central District. Banker Steel will be under contract to provide all structural steel framing (26,500 tons) for the project as well as responsibility for the erection, beginning Summer 2017.

SL Green Realty Corporation is the project€™s developer. Banker Steel will be under contract to Tishman Construction, the general contractor.

€œOne Vanderbilt is precisely the type of large-scale, complex, heavy steel fabrication project that fits the unique capabilities of Banker Steel,€ said Don Banker, Chief Executive Officer and co-owner of Banker Steel. €œThis project will literally transform the New York City skyline, creating a more vibrant District around Grand Central Station. Banker Steel is thrilled to partner with SL Green Realty and Tishman Construction to bring this amazing new office tower, and doorway to Manhattan, to life for thousands of visitors and commuters.€

Banker Steel subsidiary NYC Constructors will be erecting the steel that is fabricated at plants located in South Plainfield, New Jersey and Lynchburg, Virginia. Steel erection is scheduled to begin July, 2017. Banker acquired New York City-based NYC Constructors and New Jersey- based MRP LLC, together referred to as NYCC, in March of 2016.

The transaction provides Banker€™s customers with a vertically-integrated suite of erection and fabrication services. With One Vanderbilt, NYC Constructors will become the steel erector for projects that are among tallest office towers in New York City, including One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.

€œWe are excited to have Banker Steel and their erection subsidiary NYC Constructors on the One Vanderbilt project in New York City!€ remarked Harry J. Olsen €“ Project Director for SL Green Realty. €œProperly positioned, talented, hardworking, teams build successful projects. The Banker / NYCC personnel and associated fabrication plants will be a very positive addition to our current project team.€
