Larry is simply one of the best Owners Representative Project Managers that I’ve had the pleasure working with here in New York City. On the project that we’ve been working on the past several years, Larry has possessed an incredible acumen to get things done within a complex framework from the management of the Ownership, Investment, Design and Marketing goals of the project down to the fine details and challenges of making the building a reality on site. His organizational skills, intensity, professional integrity and ability to quickly come to resolution on an array of topics has been critical to the success of his projects. These skills have been honed from many years of Project Management and Construction experience in New York City, and his recommendations and insight from this real-world expertise is an incredible asset, especially for those who get the opportunity to work with him.

I worked with Larry for 4 years on an incredibly challenging project in Manhattan, and have been impressed at his breadth of knowledge of construction, his wide network of consultants and colleagues and his ability to bring those two attributes together to get things done in a city where everything is difficult! He is on top of everything, incredibly organized and consistently coming up with solutions to help expedite and economize the construction process. He is eager to work together with the entire project team and share his knowledge and perspective to help the team move forward. For large, complex projects I cannot think of better person to put in charge than Larry. I hope to do many more projects with him in the coming years of my practice.
Jordan Rogove, DXA Studio
I know Larry for close to 30 years. I have worked along side him as a contractor, he has acted as a contractor for me on projects I designed and we have collaborated on a project as a developer. In later years I have watched him take on projects with other contractors and developers that I am close to. In all these years he has excelled in each project and roll that he is accepted. He has been a driving force and invaluable asset in every case. He has extensive knowledge and experience in most disciplines related to construction and real estate development. I would recommend him highly to the anyone looking for a seasoned professional capable of leading a challenging or troubled project. He is the kind of individual that will “take the bull by the horns” and keep the project on track regardless of its obstacles. Larry is someone I would trust with one of my projects and I think that says it all.
Bill Harvey, Real Estate Development Executive
Worked with Larry for several years, when he was in the Owner's Rep role for a large real estate development client. Issues arose during negotiation of the contract and during the project, and Larry handled all with great skill and diplomacy. Larry is extremely knowledgeable about construction management and operations, construction contracts, etc. He works extremely well under pressure and to meet tight deadlines. Definitely a team player!
