The Department of Design and Construction has registered a $163,560,000 contract with Hunter Roberts ZDJ 70 Mulberry St a Joint Venture for construction management services at 70 Mulberry Street, according to NYC Comptroller's Checkbook NYC.

The deal, listed under PIN 85025P0007002, was awarded through a Request for Proposal process and runs from September 23, 2026 through June 19, 2030 — a nearly four-year term that signals a long, phased construction program rather than a single fast build.

70 Mulberry is a city-owned building in Manhattan's Civic Center/Chinatown area that has housed municipal offices and community space; a CM-build contract at this size points to a major overhaul or reconstruction, not a routine repair job.

The registration is marked Non-M/WBE, meaning the prime award itself doesn't carry a certified M/WBE designation — but a job this size will spin off years of subcontracting opportunities across trades, and it's worth watching how DDC structures those packages as the work rolls out.

If you're a sub in mechanical, electrical, or interior trades, this is a contract to track. A four-year CM-build term means bid packages will surface in phases, not all at once — get on Hunter Roberts ZDJ's radar now rather than waiting for the first RFQ to hit the street.

For a GC or specialty contractor sizing up next year's pipeline, this is the second nine-figure DDC number to hit the books this month, and it's worth asking your BD team whether the joint venture structure here is one you could partner into on a later phase.
