Robinson+Cole’s Construction Law Group lawyers have worked across the country on many significant and unique projects worth billions of dollars. Our clients include public and private owners, designers, and contractors. We advised them on all aspects of these projects, from the earliest stages of project delivery selection to claims and risk management during the project itself, and on through completion of the work and warranty periods. These services include preparing and negotiating the design, construction, consulting, project management, and development agreements that such projects entail, as well as advising our clients on the many legal issues that may arise during design and construction.

    
City of New London Port Infrastructure Development Project - New London, Connecticut

Representation of Mohawk Northeast, Inc., the developer-general contractor, in preparing and negotiating agreements between the client and the City of New London for the engineer, procurement and construction of a new marine terminal along the Thames River in New London, Connecticut to support and improve marine commerce in the Northeast region. This including reviewing an agreement between the City of New London as grant recipient and the United States Department of Transportation Marine Administration and providing comments to those governmental entities for a federal grant in the amount of $7 million to be provided through the Port Infrastructure Development Program to partially fund the total estimated project construction cost in excess of $18 million.

222 Broadway - New York, New York

Served as construction counsel in the office-to-residential conversion of 222 Broadway, a 31-story building in Lower Manhattan’s Financial District. Developed by TPG Real Estate and GFP Real Estate. The project will transform the structure’s 770,416 square feet into 798 rental apartments and 40,000 square feet of commercial space. The $43.6 million overhaul will also involve the partial re-cladding of the midcentury façade and the construction of a 40-foot extension atop the parapet, bringing the total height to 430 feet.  In addition to negotiating all of the design, construction and related consulting agreements, Robinson + Cole assisted the Owner team with neighboring access agreements on this complicated project.

  
Providence College - Providence, Rhode Island

Representation of Providence College in the drafting and negotiation of the design and construction contracts in the construction of the Ben Mondor Center for Nursing and Health Sciences. The Mondor Center is serving as a new academic hub for the school, housing state-of-the-art teaching and learning environments for clinical nursing simulation, anatomy and physiology labs, a student resource center, faculty innovation labs, a chapel, and countless other spaces to support engaged learning inside and outside of the classroom. The five-story, 125,000-square-foot building is the largest on campus.

    
State Pier Terminal in the Port of New London - New London, Connecticut

Representation of a quasi-governmental agency in reviewing and editing request for proposals for engineering services and preparing and negotiating professional services agreement between client and engineer and subaward agreement between client and end-user for project management and engineering, permitting and construction administration services. The project consisted of purchasing and installing mobile shore power equipment to support shore power infrastructure and supplementing in-place electrical infrastructure installed in connection with the State Pier Infrastructure Improvements Project at the State Pier Terminal in New London, Connecticut. The project, which is mostly funded by a grant from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, represents the next phase of delivering shore power to vessels docking at the terminal, allowing marine vessels to connect to the local electric grid to power onboard services instead of running their diesel engines, thereby reducing their diesel emissions and carbon footprints and decreasing health risks and noise pollution.
