About the Project
The New Roy Wilkins Recreation Center
"The new Roy Wilkins Recreation Center will be built by a joint venture called Triton-Elite JV. Key member of the joint venture, Elite Construction Company of New York, is a City-certified minority-owned business. Triton-Elite JV assembled a strong team of experienced M/WBE subconsultants across ethnic and gender certification categories based on their expertise in technical design and engineering. Additionally, Triton-Elite JV partnered with Crescent Consulting Associates, a City-certified minority-owned business with roots in the Queens community, to support the continuous engagement of diverse and local businesses and workforce throughout the course of project.
The new 67,000-square-foot recreation center will include a swimming pool with men’s and women’s lockers, gymnasium, running track, weight and fitness rooms and multi-purpose space. DDC in June 2024 announced three design-build teams that were selected to respond to a Request for Proposal in a competition for the contract award. The project is expected to be completed by Spring 2029."

Get to Know Us
Beyer Blinder Belle was founded in 1968, in the wake of the urban renewal movement in the United States, when the social fabric of cities, communities, and buildings was compromised by the prevailing attitudes about planning and architecture. We pioneered and defined a different approach to the design of the built environment that focused on architecture empowering people — their interaction with each other on streets and in neighborhoods, their pleasure in moving through the city, and their connections to the surrounding physical fabric.
