We are currently doing several full store renovations for federated department stores. The Macy’s in Parkchester, on of the original Macy locations has received an entire store renovation and we are putting the final phase into action as this is written. This store had seen many years of hard use, and is now a bright new store for the people of Parkchester to enjoy. The Macy’s in Smith haven is undergoing a full renovation including a significant lighting upgrade. We completed last years Reinvent rollout and continued on this year with a new contract to renovate the remaining areas of the store. This project in slated for a fall 03’ completion and is progressing right on schedule and budget. In early 03’ Gilman Construction headed back onto the main floor at the Macys Herald Square to renovate the Fine Jewelry department. We were the contractor who renovated it the last time it was done over 10 years ago and are happy to be back and having a great time adding new design elements to this very popular and busy part of the store. As well as the main floor, we are also just starting a major renovation to what could be the busiest area of the “World Largest Department Store”, women’s shoes. The plans call for an expansion and total redesign of the existing shoe department, which will span parts of both the 4th and 5th floor. All this while keeping the shoe department in business will make this a fun and challenging project. We look forward to the coming months with excitement as we are starting an expansion to the Macy’s on Queens Boulevard. This project will be to put an entire new floor on top of the existing building. The scope of the project will include all elements of new construction, from steel erection and a new roof, to installation of custom exterior wall panels and the corresponding fit out of the new interior space. Watch for this project, as we will be onsite in the coming weeks.
