NEW YORK CITY—The New York Public Library has selected CBRE to serve as project manager and cost consultant for the renovations of the iconic Beaux Arts building that stands on 42nd Street and Fifth Ave. The $317 million project will upgrade the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, what's often referred to as the Main Branch.
The structural improvements will add more public space for research, exhibitions and programs, while improving flow and infrastructure. The library has hired a design team led by the Dutch architecture firm Mecanoo and Beyer Blinder Belle as the architect of record. AECOM Tishman is the construction manager.

The CBRE team consists of Frank Alvarado, Bret Keeney, Chris Lawson, Nicole Tirakian and Dan Magee.
