GDSNY is a leading real estate development company based in New York City. The company's principals have experience designing and developing major commercial and residential real estate projects around the world. GDSNY has retained Beacon Consulting Group to provide independent construction monitoring services for a new 11-story, 100,000-sf, Class A office building being built at the northwest corner of 7th Avenue and 28th street in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. Groundbreaking at the site, located directly across 28th street from The Fashion Institute of Technology, occurred in late October of 2019. Project completion is expected in 2021. The new building is being developed by GDSNY in partnership with Klövern, a Sweden-based real estate development and management company.
