We have built the only service a business owner needs to open a store in New York City.Specializing in Restaurants and Bars, our "Production" service integrates Real Estate, Design and Construction, and really does produce projects on time and within the targeted budget. Just ask Koloman, Rezdora, Sereneco, Anton's, Talea Beer Co, or over 100 others. I started as an engineer in NYC but found that Construction Management was where I belonged. I’ve been a General Contractor in New England, a Developer in the Caribbean and started, grew and sold a home services business - but New York has always kept calling me back. I run the business operations of the best specialized contractor in the Greatest City in the World. The team at COCOZZA Restaurant & Retail is driven to fix the broken state of contracting and the resulting failure rate of Restaurants and other retail spaces. We have had the hard conversations with our clients, we have walked in their shoes. I TRULY BELIEVE that the primary reason stores fail is because they burn their cash ‘runway’ in real estate, design and construction and have no operating capital left to survive. THIS IS A CONSTRUCTION PROBLEM, and we’re here to fix it. Our Production Service addresses the Project as a whole, not just the buildout. Site analysis and lease negotiations heavily impact your final cost. The cost of building a restaurant is not just the wood and the paint, but the ovens and the barware. All of this matters, and none of it is part of the standard General Contractor conversation.COCOZZA builds restaurants successfully because of our use of modern approaches to technical skills, and old-fashioned good faith. We foster world-class relationships and subscribe to an ideal of instant communication. People live in New York because of the experiences; the experience of a great meal or a new cocktail, the experience of a great workout before going to the office. These experiences make New York, New York, and we build the space that frames that experience.
