We are thrilled to announce the opening of Camp Mahackeno at the Westport Weston Family YMCA to campers for the summer season. The camp features the full renovation of the Beck Lodge, a new Pool Lodge, L-shape pool for instructional and recreational swimming and splash pad.  Other activity areas include a new amphitheater, giant slides, bouldering wall, program pavilions, expanded playground, archery range and multi-purpose field.  A new trail system provides camper and member access to the beautiful environment and improved waterfront access and boardwalk.  Congratulations to the whole project team on this exciting accomplishment!

On Tuesday, the Madison Square Boys & Girls Club was honored by receiving a Merit Award for the design of its new facility at the virtual AIA Honors & Awards Luncheon. Rogers & Partners was the architect. Zubatkin was proud to have played a role in managing the planning and development of this project. Congratulations to the project team!

It’s always a pleasure to share positive news about our clients.  We’re excited that the iconic One Times Square building served as one of the launch locations for this year’s Macy’s Independence Day fireworks series.  Read more about the reimagined fireworks program being planned across New York City’s five boroughs on the Macy’s Website. We wish everyone a safe and happy 4^th of July!

At Zubatkin, we stand in solidarity with those demanding justice and fighting against racism in our world.  We are moved by the peaceful protests taking place across the country and, in particular, this powerful image of our client at One Times Square.

To further its mission of providing the highest level of service to its members, The Country Club of New Canaan embarked on the development of a new pool and pool facility, as well as the reconstruction of the turn-of-the-century clubhouse. We’re pleased to share that we’ve recently received the final Certificate of Occupancy for this project, which allowed for a soft opening in time for Memorial Day.

Congratulations to the team on this important milestone!  Read more about the project here.
