Robert Ferdinand is Vice President, Project Executive at UAG, where he brings deep technical expertise and a hands-on approach to some of the firm’s most complex ground-up and preconstruction assignments. He is currently leading Phase II of Flushing Commons, a 380,000-square-foot luxury residential condominium in Downtown Flushing, Queens, and the HELP Women’s Center in Brooklyn, a 60,000-square-foot all-electric shelter designed to serve 200 residents.
Robert’s career is defined by two decades at AECOM Tishman, where he rose from Project Manager to Senior Vice President while building a track record on some of the most ambitious developments in New York and beyond. Notably, he led Phase I of Flushing Commons during his tenure there, and the foundational knowledge he built on that project now gives UAG a rare continuity advantage as he advances Phase II. His portfolio also includes the 975,000-square-foot Fordham Landing mixed-use development in the Bronx, the Turkevi Center in Midtown Manhattan, and the iconic 18-million-square-foot CityCenter development on the Las Vegas Strip, one of the largest sustainable private developments in the United States.
Spanning residential, hospitality, civic, and medical construction, Robert’s background gives him a broad and versatile command of complex, large-scale delivery.
