Ceremony Held to Celebrate Milestone for St. John’s Terminal Development

A physically distant ceremony was recently held to celebrate the installation of the final steel beam for the St. Johns Terminal development, located in New York City. Turner Construction Company is serving as the general contractor.

“Today is a celebration of the efforts of so many who had a vision for St. John’s Terminal,” said Turner Vice President and General Manager Bert Rahm. “We want to thank Oxford for their foresight and courage in developing this site and Google for their commitment to expand their presence in the New York market, and both for allowing Turner to be their partner.” Rahm continued, “I want to recognize our staff and the workforce. Not enough can be said about how hard and diligent everyone worked to meet their commitments while facing the challenges of COVID-19. Everyone looks out for each other.”

The former freight terminal is being reimagined into a 12-story, 1.3-million-square-foot commercial office space, part of Google’s planned Hudson Square campus. Once the exterior is complete, Turner—in a joint venture with Structure Tone—will complete the interiors for Google as they expand in New York City.

To date, the project has created more than 500 construction jobs that have worked more than 775,000 hours.
