Building under construction on Hawkins Drive

Posted

A new 81,200-square-foot multi-purpose building on Hawkins Drive in the Town of Montgomery is being constructed for warehousing and light manufacturing.


Fergal Conefrey, Managing Director of Times Square Construction , said Alubuild USA, LLC, and HDK Construction, LLC—both affiliates of Tower Holdings Group, Inc. (THG)—will temporarily store high-rise construction materials, such as unitized aluminum, glass curtainwall and masonry, before they are delivered to job sites. These materials will be used on several high-rise projects throughout New York City and the five boroughs.


Another member of THG’s group, Aluprof USA, LLC, will also use the building for light manufacturing. Imported aluminum and glass curtain wall pieces will be infused with silicon and extrusion to assemble residential and commercial systems. Conefrey said all components will be pre-made and there will be no large-scale manufacturing of raw materials, furnaces or emissions.


A small portion of the building will be used as a showroom for Aluprof’s products, which include pre-assembled glazed curtain wall systems for the commercial and residential industry.


Construction started early this spring and is expected to be complete within 12 months, Conefrey said. The project is located across the street from Shop Rite.


The building will be constructed of high-end brick with a curtain wall façade.


The majority of the building will be for warehouse and storage, taking up approximately 42,00 square feet, according to planning board documents. The light assembly component will be 30,000 square feet and the showroom will be 3,000 square feet.


The applicant estimates the project will generate approximately 44 trips per day, with 20 employees and two or three truck trips per day, according to planning board documents.
