What CIVETTA COUSINS JV LLC does

Civetta Cousins JV LLC (CCJV) is a privately held specialty construction joint venture headquartered in the Bronx, New York, that provides excavation, foundation, support-of-excavation (SOE), underpinning, and deep-foundation services for large civil and building projects. Its core technical capabilities span soil and rock excavation, drilled caissons, secant and tangent pile walls, sheet piling, soldier piles and lagging, tieback and tiedown anchors, dewatering, and contaminated soil remediation, with in-house SOE design and licensed blasting capability. CCJV holds the record for the largest continuous concrete pour in New York City — 4,305 cubic yards in a single 11-hour pour at Project Galaxy (4 Hudson Square) — and operates one of the largest fleets of excavators, hydraulic breakers, track drills, and trucks in the city.

The company serves a marquee roster of NYC developers, institutions, and public-sector owners, including The Walt Disney Company, Columbia University, Extell Development, Vornado Realty Trust, Tishman Speyer, JEMB Realty, Glenwood Management, Witkoff, New York Methodist Hospital, and New York State. It operates primarily as a B2B subcontractor engaged by general contractors and construction managers (Gilbane, Turner Construction, Lendlease) through project bidding and direct relationship-based engagement, with work spanning supertall residential towers (Central Park Tower, 220 Central Park South), Class A office developments (66 Hudson/The Spiral, One Willoughby Square), institutional and education projects (Columbia Manhattanville Phase II), healthcare, hospitality, and government/memorial work.

Revenue is generated project-by-project under fixed-price and cost-plus subcontracts, with no disclosed public pricing and a business model that depends on repeat relationships with a relatively small set of high-profile owners and general contractors. Marketing is largely portfolio- and reputation-driven via the company website rather than outbound demand generation, consistent with a relationship-driven specialty trade.
