Manhattan (New York County) Restaurant Construction Contractor

Ariel Construction builds restaurants, cafés, coffee shops and bars — commercial kitchens, exhaust hoods, bar systems and dining rooms delivered through health department and fire sign-off.

Restaurant construction is the most permit-heavy work in commercial interiors. Hood and fire-suppression approvals, grease interceptors, gas service, ventilation make-up air, health department plan review and ADA restrooms all sit on the critical path — and any one of them can hold your opening for weeks if it isn't filed early.

We build the full package: demolition, kitchen and dish areas with quarry tile and FRP, exhaust hoods and make-up air, walk-in coolers, bar millwork with beverage systems and under-bar plumbing, dining room finishes and banquettes, host and POS stations, restrooms, storefront and outdoor dining.

Our restaurant teams work with independent chef-owners, hospitality groups and franchise operators, and we coordinate directly with kitchen equipment suppliers so rough-ins match the equipment schedule before slabs and walls close.

In Manhattan, New York County we handle the full interior scope — demolition, framing and drywall, ceilings, electrical and lighting, HVAC distribution, plumbing, sprinkler modification, millwork, flooring, tile, paint and final finishes — plus permitting, expediting, landlord approvals and inspections. Our Manhattan (New York County) restaurant crews work in Midtown, SoHo, Tribeca, Chelsea, Flatiron, Financial District, Upper East Side, Upper West Side and every surrounding community, including occupied spaces phased around business hours.

Whether you are a property owner repositioning an asset, a tenant working against a lease commencement date, a broker protecting a deal or a national brand rolling out a prototype, you get one point of contact, weekly reporting and a price locked before we mobilize. We do not do ground-up construction — commercial interiors are all we build.
