Avalon W Squared · Princeton, New Jersey

Specialized high-finish leadership, integrated into an established project team.

RECON supported the development’s highest-finish spaces and top-level execution expectations without disrupting a team already delivering rental units at scale.

The Assignment

Extend a capable production team with the expertise demanded by flagship common spaces.

Avalon W Squared’s existing project team was highly proficient in the fast-paced completion of rental units. RECON was integrated to support the development’s highest-finish spaces and top-level execution expectations, bringing a different concentration of attention to specialty details, procurement and finish quality.

RECON was responsible for high-level finish spaces throughout the 550-unit development, including two lobbies, resident lounges, remote-work areas and a fitness center with 30-foot ceilings.

RECON’s role

  • Integrated directly into the existing project-management structure
  • Led execution of flagship amenity and common spaces
  • Coordinated specialty trades, materials and architectural details
  • Identified missed scope before it became uncontrolled change-order exposure
  • Managed targeted buyouts through specialized vendor relationships
  • Maintained quality expectations through punch list and turnover

Financial impact

RECON delivered senior-level leadership at approximately 18% below the cost of carrying a comparable in-house senior superintendent. On missed-scope buyouts addressed through targeted trade procurement, average savings exceeded 40% compared with the pricing otherwise presented to the project.

The value of integration

RECON did not replace a capable team. It supplied specialized bandwidth precisely where the project’s finish expectations created a different execution risk—protecting design intent, brand quality and the financial outcome of highly visible spaces.

Add specialized leadership where the project needs it most.

RECON can integrate without adding unnecessary permanent overhead.
