Brookfield Properties pulled a general construction permit worth $7,164,727 at 200 Liberty Street in Battery Park City, issued October 8 by the Department of Buildings.
JT Magen & Company holds the contractor spot. The filing specifies general construction "as shown on plans filed herewith" with no change in use, egress, or occupancy — DOB language that rules out a conversion or a ground-up addition and points instead to a substantial interior renovation, likely office space or building systems work inside an occupied tower.
200 Liberty is part of the Brookfield Place complex, one of the larger commercial footprints Brookfield controls downtown. At $7.2 million, this isn't a lobby refresh — it's the kind of job that puts a GC's trade partners (drywall, MEP, finishes) to work for months, and JT Magen has a long track record on exactly this scale of corporate interior work in Manhattan.
The permit is filed and issued, meaning the job has legal authorization to proceed; it does not by itself confirm steel is moving or crews are mobilized. Subcontractors with downtown interior experience should treat JT Magen as the point of contact going forward — DOB records don't name subs, so sourcing any trade packages will mean reaching the GC directly.
