Flagship Store ‘Sweet’ Addition to World Trade Center in New York City

DGC Contracting takes project work to the next level with the completion of sweetgreen’s flagship store at the World Trade Center in New York City. The 2,600-square-foot space boasts beautifully crafted interior millwork that mimics the Oculus, which is located adjacent to the restaurant.

Wrapping up the project in just six months, this is the sixth sweetgreen store that DGC has completed for the company. Working with an empty preconstruction building, DGC was responsible for all interior work consisting of both structural and design work. The showcase of the interior fit-out was the placement and hanging of all interior custom millwork created to mimic the Oculus building, the focal point of the store, which is featured on the walls for displays and continues up onto the ceiling. The store’s vibe is a modern industrial chic that’s bright and airy—and features pickup stations to accommodate its growing digital-order base.

Additionally, the DGC team installed all wall finishes featuring a variety of decorative styles, such as ceramic tile, stainless wall panels and ADREX stucco, along with an assortment of floor finishes in epoxy, polished concrete and ceramic tile. Additional project installations included custom lighting fixtures, stainless kitchen equipment, digital menu boards and online pickup stations. On the structural side, they poured concrete topping slabs and concrete stairs.
