The Mark Hotel
Sciame was the Construction Manager responsible for the renovation of the Mark Hotel. The building is a 180,000 SF landmark building originally constructed in 1927. In 2007, the new owners of the hotel (The Alexico Group) enlisted SLCE alongside Sciame Construction in renovating the prestigious Upper East Side hotel.
The task involved the restoration of the existing brick and limestone facade and the renovation of all the interior floors. The hotel rooms were remodeled to achieve a mixed use building of hotel (floors 2-9), hotel/ condominiums (floors 10-12) and condominiums (floors 13-15). The ground floor was restored to house the new Bar Mark and Restaurant and the balance of the 2nd floor to include the Salon Mark by Frederic Fekkai and fitness center.

The New Victory Theater – Originally built in 1900 as The Republic, the first performing arts venue on 42nd Street, the theater was transformed into The New Victory in 1995, becoming New York’s first theater for children and families. The renovation uncovered and restored original architectural elements, added a new lobby carved from the existing structure and bedrock, rebuilt the historic staircase, and created space for much-needed restrooms. A rear wing was added for backstage access, dressing rooms, workshops, and a loading dock, while new elevators and rooftop HVAC systems were integrated to meet modern needs of the historic theater.
