Gorton says that his firm’s success is due in large part to
the fact that its principals have expertise in all aspects of
project development—from financing to design and con-
struction—and are not approaching project management
by focusing on one singular aspect. “We take on a com-
prehensive role and we talk with the owner about every-
thing from zoning to whom they should retain as an archi-
tect,” says Patrick Muldoon, Partner. “We help the owner
execute their vision.”
Gorton & Partners works on a wide variety of projects
including cultural institutions, hospitality, private clubs,
nursing facilities, residential developments and commer-
cial buildings. What these clients all have in common is
that they have come to rely on Gorton’s expertise as a
necessary component of their project. “We will always be
objective and render an honest opinion, whether or not
it’s exactly what a client is hoping to hear,” says Raymond
Del Savio, Partner. “We do this even when the best answer
may be not going forward with the project.”
Comprehensive Project Management
Gorton & Partners got its start in 1994 when Robert Gor-
ton noticed specific gaps in the
marketplace and thought that he
could launch a firm to provide a
different kind of project manage-
ment service. With 20 years in
construction management and
owner’s representation for firms such as Tishman Con-
struction and Lehrer McGovern, he had the experience of
working with firms that grew rapidly over a short period
of time, and learned many facets of the building develop-
ment process. At the same time, he saw how new entrants
into the business in the late 1980s changed its dynamics.
“After Black Monday in 1987, relationships between gen-
eral contractors who entered the construction manage-
ment segment and owners became more adversarial,”
says Gorton. “Without guaranteed maximum pricing in
their contracts, construction managers sat on the owner’s
side of the table, but with exposure to risk the dealings be-
tween owners and CMs changed,” says Gorton. “We saw a
great opportunity in being purely a consultant.”
Joining the firm a year later, Del Savio, a registered ar-
chitect, worked previously at both Tishman Speyer and
Tishman Construction and later formed several real estate
development entities engaged in residential and land de-
velopment. The third partner, Patrick Muldoon, a licensed
professional engineer, has over 30 years’ experience in
construction management, including the New York Times
headquarters project.
Dennis Rauchet, Senior Vice President, is the latest ad-
dition to the firm. He has 18 years of experience working
for prestigious firms like Forest City Ratner and Goldman
Sachs, where he worked on intricate large-scale develop-
ment projects.
Early Signature
Projects
In its early years, the firm quick-
ly became known for its work on
complex projects such as Bausch & Lomb’s World Head-
quarters in Rochester and the fit out of the New York Mer-
cantile Exchange with 500,000 SF of trading floors, cafete-
ria and member offices. The firm also worked from 1996
“We help the owner execute their vision.”
Patrick Muldoon, Partner, Gorton & Partners
“We believe in taking a global approach to a project,” says Robert Gorton, Partner, Gorton & Partners.
“Whether it’s out-of-the-ground construction, renovations, or unique projects, we sit on the owners’
side of the table and help lead them down the right path to making their development a success.”

the principals with their Senior
Vice Presidents. Dedicating their
time to projects is key and they
are supported day-to-day with
Senior Project Managers with ten
plus years with the firm; Antho-
ny Acierno, Jr., Ralph Amarosa,
Ryan Bischoff and Jeffrey Snell. In addition, they have a full
team of Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers and
Accounting staff.
“With years of experience on a variety of project types
and sizes, we provide a unique scope of services that ad-
dress clients’ needs on complex construction and devel-
opment projects,” Muldoon says. The firm can take any
project from initial discussions of client objectives and
building the design and construction team all the way
through to commissioning and facility turnover.
The firm’s extensive work with the governing boards of
private clubs and not-for-profit institutions has made it
the ‘go-to’ consultants for these diverse project manage-
ment needs. “Some of these organizations have no expe-
rience with project managers, or may have someone on
their board that managed projects for them in the past,”
says Del Savio. “They are looking for someone who un-
derstands that the project is not just about the bricks and
mortar, but also about how budgeting and the approvals
process works in this environment.” Del Savio says that
the firm always adjusts its schedule to fit that of the vol-
unteer boards, often meeting with groups in the evening
and weekends to discuss the pros and cons of the project
and how to minimize disruption to operations (while at the
same time maximizing areas that allow for revenue gen-
erating events in the case of private clubs). “We also do
multiple-year phasing of projects so that a club’s and often
an institutional owner’s capital improvement plans more
closely match the annual budget cycle,” says Del Savio.
Due in part to its work with clubs, Gorton & Partners also
to 2003 at the Grand Hyatt, shep-
herding the hotel through two
renovations of over 1,400 guest
rooms, conference centers, lob-
bies and restaurants, while keep-
ing the hotel fully functional 24/7.
The firm’s work at Sotheby’s
was, Gorton says, “a classic example of our strengths on
a complex project.” The project was a 400,000 SF phased
project, which included building 240,000 SF above the ex-
isting auction house and renovating 160,000 SF within the
existing structure. “We added six floors, reinforced col-
umns and added new elevators,” says Gorton. “The whole
project was executed without shutting the firm down by
moving staff from the floors and then renovating that old
space immediately afterwards.”
The firm entered the institutional market with Long Is-
land University in Brooklyn, Brookville, and Southampton;
and, also completed renovation and upgrade projects at
the University Club and the Russian Tea Room, which led
to several more private club and restaurant clients.
A Wealth of Capabilities
The team at Gorton considers itself first and foremost
problem solvers, says Thomas Rosenberger, PE, LEED AP,
Senior Vice President. “We have the skill set in-house to
take any complex project or problem, break it down into
its parts and piece it back together in a logical process
that protects the owner and takes into consideration the
budget and schedule,” he says. Rosenberger’s own back-
ground encompasses diversified projects from core and
shell construction, to major infrastructure with a special-
ization in MEP design and implementation. The experi-
ence of the 20-member staff spans design, engineering,
construction management, subcontracting and develop-
ment. Principal involvement through project completion is
the Gorton business model. They adhere to and augment
“We will always be objective and
render an honest opinion, whether or not
that’s what the client expected to hear.”

the building’s size from 92,000 SF
to 133,000 SF by adding 11 floors
to the 15-story building. “The
building will be occupied and
therefore requires careful com-
munication with tenants during
the renovation and construction
process,” says Del Savio. The
project required constructing two
post-tensioned mega columns
to support vertical expansion as
well as new mechanical systems and vertical transportation
that will support the expansion.
Residential Developments
Gorton & Partners has completed numerous residential
development projects. Recently, they have been engaged on
several new high-end residential development projects; both
condominium and rental. They have a history of managing
out-of-the-ground and conver-
sion projects.
At 15 East 26th Street, Gor-
ton managed the gut renovation
of the upper ten floors totaling
120,000 SF, of a former commer-
cial space into 66, large luxury
condominiums; this was success-
fully accomplished while main-
taining complete occupancy on
the lower nine commercial floors
of 100,000 SF. “There were lots
of logistical challenges—utilities
and hoisting among them,” says
Del Savio. “Most importantly,
everything had to remain com-
pletely safe and operational for
the high-profile commercial ten-
ants below.”
Gorton & Partners provided
complete project management
services for a seven-story addi-
tion that was added atop an ex-
isting three-story building at 360
West 11th Street, to accommo-
date unique residences, com-
munity space and studios for art-
ist Julian Schnabel.
An Advisor to
Educators
Educational institutions often
need project management ex-
perts that can help them cre-
ate facilities that support the
school’s mission and education-
al efforts, while at the same time
maximizing efficiency under
tight budget scenarios. “They
need someone who can come in
and meet with their boards, and
has a great deal of experience
with the Landmark Commission
in New York as well as the regu-
latory approval process in many
suburban communities.
The firm’s principals also note
their expertise with new devel-
opers. “There is a change in
the market now where there are
some new developers who are
ready to find their own oppor-
tunities,” says Muldoon. “We don’t arrange the financing
but we are hired to make sure that everything else in the
project falls into place efficiently.” Adds Gorton: “We are
here to guide our clients.”
Commercial Properties
Developing properties in New York City requires an at-
tention to detail and the advice from a firm that can analyze
various scenarios and present
ideas that will bring a project
to its best and highest use.
“Clients hire us for our ability
to perform development due
diligence,” says Gorton. “We
know the questions to ask and
what goes into making a feasi-
bility study that considers all of
the ‘what ifs’.”
Gorton & Partners was re-
tained by two major financial
services firms to evaluate their
participation as an investor and
end-user in the Hudson Yards
Development. “We evaluated
the developer’s proposed sce-
narios with emphasis on bud-
gets and schedule to identify
feasibility and potential risks to
the firms,” says Gorton. Gor-
ton & Partners worked along-
side these companies’ corpo-
rate services and investment
banking divisions in structur-
ing pro formas, schedules, and
projected cash requirements
for each scenario. They also
participated and advocated for
the firms in the negotiations of
the Development Agreement
and helped select the Design
Architect for the development.
The plan ultimately did not go
forward due to the economic
downturn.
Adding 11 floors to an exist-
ing building is always a com-
plicated endeavor. At 30 East
60th Street, Gorton is manag-
ing the process of increasing
“They are excellent project managers
and right on the ball. We had some
earlier difficulty with our latest project
and they were able to navigate it.
Gorton & Partners are trusted advisors
to our school.”

cant amount of money,” says Gorton.
At Marymount Manhattan College, Gorton was engaged to
convert a townhouse in a residential neighborhood into faculty
offices, including an addition on the back of the building. “We
came into this project after another owner’s representative,”
said Muldoon. “It was a challenging project and there was a lot
of organizational difficulty but we were able to move the proj-
ect along by finding the right bidders to get it back on track.”
The project is scheduled to be completed this spring. The firm
also managed façade restoration at the college’s main campus
building and they were in involved in two dormitory projects.
Earlier, Gorton & Partners served as project manager for anoth-
er building at Marymount, helping develop a new dormitory fa-
cility. Services included early negotiation with the developer of
the mixed-use building on through construction.
The Collegiate School, a private K-12 school on the Upper
West Side, was looking at options to increase its space and
engaged Gorton early in their planning process. The as-
signment was originally to be the owner’s representative for
the renovation and expansion of the existing school. “We
did the initial budgeting and cost analysis and it became
clear it was more costly than anticipated to use the exist-
ing space,” says Rosenberger. “So this led us to explore
multiple strategic options, includ-
ing a new development offsite.” The
school ultimately selected a Manhat-
tan development site where they will
construct a new 175,000 SF build-
ing; which will open for the Fall 2016
school year. “One of the reasons that
Collegiate School chose us is that no
matter what option they chose, they
needed a firm with multi-faceted ex-
perience.”
At The Windward School, in
walk them through the process,” says Muldoon. “This allows
them to focus on the good work that they are doing while we
focus on the nuts and bolts of realizing their vision for their
space.” he says.
When Columbia University sought to redevelop a portion of
the Manhattanville section of West Harlem which will now in-
clude a mixed-use academic building for the university, it en-
gaged Gorton to oversee the master plan implementation, de-
sign team solicitation and management and review the budget
and schedule. “This was a unique and demanding site, that has
an assortment of commercial and manufacturing buildings on
it,” says Gorton. The 17-acre academic facility would be located
between Broadway and 12th Avenue,
from West 125th Street to 133rd Street.
Completed in 2011, the Academic
and Administrative building at Pratt
Institute is a LEED Gold certified
102,000 SF facility. The building con-
sists of six floors plus a cellar with the
first floor devoted to an entry lobby
and retail condominium space. “This
building had a very sophisticated de-
sign and yet, with careful planning, we
were able to save the client a signifi-
“We enjoy working with Gorton, as
they are very astute, technically
savvy professionals. They understand
an owner’s needs and are excellent
when it comes to schedule and
budget management.”

both the Fifth Avenue Plaza reno-
vation and expansion and the ren-
ovation of the Museum’s Costume
Institute.
Currently in the pre-construction
phase, Gorton & Partners has pro-
vided executive oversight to assist
the Wildlife Conservation Society
in the refinement of the overall
project budget and schedule for
its new Ocean Wonders Exhibit at
the New York Aquarium.
The TKTS Booth is a major at-
traction in Times Square, selling discounted theater tickets.
Capitalizing on its iconic relevance to the area, the area was
rebuilt in 2007 to include the construction of an amphithe-
ater-like glass staircase comprised of red glass steps sup-
ported on glass stringers and spanning between load bear-
ing glass walls, illuminated from within by red LEDs. The
Booth is a free standing, custom-fabricated fiberglass shell
that sits below the steps and is visible through the glass
walls. The remaining plaza is open, covered with gran-
ite pavers that rise and fall to the monument and have in-
ground light fixtures. Geothermal heating and cooling sys-
tems are visible through the glass, heating and cooling the
steps seasonally. Gorton & Partners provided complete
project management services.
A Private Club and Hospitality Focus
Managing construction projects for private clubs has be-
come a Gorton & Partners specialty. “We are flexible with our
time, and we will do whatever is necessary to make sure that
board members and club members alike understand why the
project makes sense,” says Del Savio. “We are expert at as-
sembling the right team including designers, lawyers and sub-
specialties and to then ensure that their vision is executed.”
Harrison, New York, Gorton
& Partners provided project
management services for the
development of a teacher train-
ing institute. “This building is
geared to offer day, weekend
and evening programs so that
teachers can be better trained in
this school’s unique, educational
specialty,” says Del Savio.
Other school projects include:
• Coordinating the fast track de-
sign and construction schedule for
the construction an 18,000 SF facility for The British Interna-
tional School
• Managing the design and construction of various facilities
in Brooklyn for St. Francis College
Institutional Expertise
Gorton’s experience with the Metropolitan Museum of Art
goes back more than a decade. “We have a great relation-
ship with the Met and have helped them on the planning and
construction of multiple projects in their Landmarked build-
ing, which is always a challenge,” Gorton says. Projects in-
clude the renovations of various exhibit spaces including the
19th Century Wing, The American Wing and The Islamic Gal-
leries. The renovation of the Greek & Roman Wing included
the complete renovation of the existing interior spaces for
new galleries on the first and second floors, new mechanical
and electrical systems and the addition of two new floors of
offices. In addition to the renovation of exhibit spaces, Gor-
ton & Partners has also provided project management ser-
vices on the Uris Center of Education, back-of-house spaces
such as Painting Conservation and Books Conservation, and
infrastructure upgrades, which include cooling towers, a new
chiller plant, and large-scale electrical upgrades. Currently,
Gorton & Partners is managing the construction phases of
“They act as an extension of our
organization, and provide skill sets and
guidance in budgeting, planning, project
approvals, and, ultimately, with
the coordination of construction
trades. Gorton & Partners are our
true partners and collaborators.”

Since 1996, Gorton & Partners has
been involved in numerous projects
at the Westchester Country Club
in Rye. “We manage all of their
capital projects from developing
the concept, to providing informa-
tion to the board, to knowing how
it needs to be phased,” says Del
Savio. The projects have included
the installation of a new 750-ton,
water-source heat pump system for
the Club’s heating & cooling loads
using geo-thermal technology; the
renovation of 6,000 SF of the facili-
ties main kitchen including structur-
al repair/replacement of the floors;
the construction of a new 23,000 SF
pre-engineered “Butler Building,”
fit out with squash courts, golf cart
barn, and storage facility; a multi-
phased facade restoration project;
and the renovation of 30,000 SF of
the existing sports house building
including men’s and women’s lock-
er rooms and bathrooms, a new fit-
ness center, elevator and a new in-
door golf practice facility. The firm
recently finished Phase I of a major
Beach Club renovation for West-
chester Country Club and is starting
Phase II.
The Winged Foot Golf Club in
Mamaroneck recently engaged
Gorton & Partners on the first phase
of a three-phase renovation project.
“We are bringing a holistic view to
the process,” says Del Savio. “We
are working very hard to get the
budget assumptions right because
construction should be the more
predictable part of the process. If you properly plan the pre-construction phase—
which is where we think we add a great deal of value—there should be few sur-
prises.” The club is renovating locker rooms, a pool and a snack bar and creating
new pool cabanas.
Gorton has been involved in numerous projects at the University Club, an out-
standing 100-year-old McKim, Mead & White landmark, which included exterior fa-
çade renovation, hotel room renovations, elevator modernization and other capi-
tal improvements in the 200,000 SF facility.
“There are several members who are architects and they are great clients be-
cause they are stewards of their own, wonderful asset and fully appreciate what
needs to be done in maintaining a landmark,” says Del Savio. “We have made his-
toric renovations to several public spaces.” The club is about to embark on a new
project, a major renovation and potential addition to the top of the building, which
was approved by the Landmarks Commission.
At the Scarsdale Golf Club, Gorton & Partners was the project manager on the
planning, design, demolition and construction as well as the renovation and ex-
tension of the existing Clubhouse, the Terrace Expansion and a new elevator. The
Club remained open during construction activities, which required the develop-
ment and management of a Site Safety Plan, as well as the overall coordination of
site activities with the functions of the club.

ly and without interruption,” says
Muldoon. One of Gorton & Part-
ner’s crucial roles in the project
will be to develop a Site Safety
Plan as well as coordinate the site
construction with the activities of
the facility.
The firm is also working on master plan for a 382,000 SF
20-story long-term care and acute-care nursing home on
the Upper West Side. “This project is designed around a
concept called ‘Greenhouses’—a new approach in assisted
living facilities in which residents are made to feel that they
are in their own homes—a method that allows for greater
privacy yet maintains a high level of efficiency of care,” says
Gorton. Currently the project is in the early stages of pre-
construction and Gorton is planning the construction with
an eye towards building a schedule that will work with the
extended lead time associated with their funding.
Future Vision
The partners say that as the economy rebounds, their var-
ied expertise allows them to take advantage of new develop-
ment in the metropolitan area. “We are poised to participate
in projects that are being developed by people who are new
to this market,” says Gorton. “We are good listeners…This
enables us to truly understand a client’s needs and be able to
properly and proactively address them.” n

Gorton & Partners has also com-
pleted restaurant and hotel proj-
ects through the years including
the ongoing conversion of an 18-
story office building 170 Broadway,
constructed in 1904, into a hotel.
The new construction consists of
240 guest rooms and a total area of 150,000 SF. “The build-
ing was a sensitive historic site, though not landmarked,” says
Gorton. “Because of this all effort was made to maintain the
original façade and external appearance.” The building is lo-
cated in a highly traffic-congested area with close proximity to
the World Trade Center site, complicating site logistics.
Creating a unique look and feel for the Spice Market res-
taurant involved the renovation of a 100-year-old warehouse
building in the Meatpacking District. “In this project, we had
the challenge of working with 300-year-old artifacts from India
and incorporating them into the design,” says Del Savio. “The
logistics of having them imported and scheduling the work
was significant.”
An Eye on Healthcare
As trends in healthcare aim to create more warm and
home-like facilities for seniors who live there, Gorton &
Partners is working with their owners to renovate their
older facilities to their new standards, while managing
costs and the quality of life for current residents.
The Greater Harlem Nursing Home, located on West
138th Street, had outgrown its facility and wanted to ex-
pand to include assisted living. “We are renovating the
old building and adding assisted living by tying the two
buildings together as well as all of the building systems,”
says Del Savio. “We had to manage regulatory as well as
land use and financial challenges, but we anticipate start-
ing construction later this year.”
Gorton & Partners is working on two projects for Jew-
ish Home Lifecare, in the Bronx and Manhattan. In the
Bronx, it is planning to build a new 72-bed Assisted Living
Program Building and renovate five floors of an existing
building. “In this project, there are two critical issues to be
dealt with: first, we must have realistic cost estimates to
verify that the budgeted funds will be adequate to build
the project and second, careful planning of the sequence
and phasing of work so that operations can continue safe-
“We are good listeners…This enables us to
truly understand a client’s needs and be able
to properly and proactively address them.”
