What The Rinaldi Group LLC does

The Rinaldi Group LLC (also known as TRG) is a privately held, founder-owned general contracting and construction management firm founded in 2003 by Anthony T. Rinaldi and headquartered in Secaucus, New Jersey, with a regional office in Miami, Florida. The firm serves real estate developers, property owners, hotel operators, and institutional/public-sector clients, delivering full-service construction across residential high-rises, hotels, commercial offices, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and public buildings. Its core service lines include general contracting, construction management, design-build, and renovation/rehabilitation (including office-to-residential conversions and landmark restorations). TRG's project portfolio exceeds $2.1 billion in cumulative value with over 7.4 million square feet delivered across New York, New Jersey, and Florida.

The firm's central operating model is open-shop (non-union) construction, which it positions as delivering 20-30% cost savings versus traditional union contractors while maintaining equivalent technical sophistication and quality. TRG has developed notable expertise in modular construction, having built the CitizenM Bowery hotel — cited as the world's tallest modular hotel at the time of completion — using 210 prefabricated pods manufactured by Polcom Modular of Poland, with the team shadowing construction crews in London to develop stacking expertise. The company employs 70+ full-time construction professionals including licensed architects and engineers, project managers, superintendents, and NYCDOB-licensed fire and site safety managers, and cites a broader workforce of over 1,000 trained professionals across projects.

Revenue is generated on a project basis through fixed-price contracts, cost-plus arrangements, and construction management fees, with pricing quoted per project according to scope, size, and complexity (not publicly disclosed). Go-to-market is direct B2B enterprise field sales — engaging developers, hotel operators, and property owners through business development, longstanding relationships, referrals, and competitive bidding. Marketing is reputation-driven, leveraging industry awards (ENR Global Best Project, ABC Excellence in Construction, RED Awards) and coverage in real estate publications. Named clients include SHVO, CitizenM Hotels, Marriott International, RIU Hotels & Resorts, Red Apple Real Estate (John Catsimatidis), Chetrit Group, and Ginsburg Development Companies.
