Aragon Construction recently completed a 5,700 slf build-out for a boutique fitness center at Stuyvesant Town, located at 520 East 20th St Aragon had just six weeks to demolish the old space, previously inhabited by a D'agostino supermarket, to build out the new showpiece for the fitness center, which opened exclusively to residents of Peter Cooper Village and Stuyvesant Town.

Working together with S,M, Berger Architecture P,C., and interior architecture' design firm Cetra/ Ruddy, Inc., Aragon delivered a new fitness center consisting of a main exercise floor with weights and machines-along with aerobics and yoga rooms, a relaxation lounge and locker rooms with shower facilities for men and women.

The, new 14 ft., floor to ceiling storefront offers views of Peter Cooper's skyline. The new space features imported tile made by Artistic Tile consisting of river stone pebbles in a clear resin. A 406 slf custom-stained maple wall and millwork separates the workout areas from the more "private" areas including it lounge, locker rooms arid a reception area. Wood flooring was installed in the aerobic and yoga spaces, while the cardio area consists mostly of "fitness flooring," a high-density rubber that provides a softer surface for exercise.
