NEW YORK CITY-As a byproduct of pursuing a growth strategy amid a downturn, architecture/engineering/construction firm HAKS Engineers has outgrown its current space at the Trump Organization’s 40 Wall St. Therefore, it’s adding 10.675 square feet to its existing 33,426 square feet in a 10-year lease expansion and extension.

The construction management, engineering, architecture, land surveying and material-testing firm has occupied the entire 11th floor of the 72-story Downtown office tower since 2004. HAKS’s expansion to part of the fourth floor entails a build-out of turnkey space by Trump, which has also provided a work letter covering upgrades to the existing space, according to a release.

Having positioned itself to take advantage of the Obama administration’s stimulus program, HAKS has hired “100 people across all disciplines over the past year,” CFO Shahid Akhtar says in the release. “We expect to add more people in our construction management division as a result of the additional public-sector work.”
