Project Team
Ownership’s planning for the project that came to be known as Constitution Center began in earnest in August 2003. Kramer Consulting P.C. (as Program Manager and then as Owner’s Construction Representative) and Robert C. Hines and Scott J. Killie of Cassidy & Pinkard Colliers (as leasing consultants), have been part of the project team from the beginning. SmithGroup was selected in March 2005 as the project architect and the engineering firm of record for mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. SK&A was then chosen as the structural engineer of record. In November 2006, James G. Davis Construction Corporation was added to the team as General Contractor, and renovation work began on July 2, 2007.

Management
Vornado/Charles E. Smith provided property management services for the David Nassif Building over the decade before DOT vacated the building in June 2007. David Nassif Associates has taken the highly unusual step of retaining that company throughout the renovation period, with the continuing full-time assignment of the two managers and two engineers who had led the Vornado/Charles E. Smith team. Those four people have been closely involved in helping plan and oversee the renovation project. They will also be closely involved in the commissioning process for all the building’s equipment and systems. When Constitution Center opens in early 2010, tenants will have the extraordinary benefit of a property management/engineering team that knows everything about the building and is fully ready to perform.
