HAP Construction General Counsel Sushmita Roy has been selected to the 2021 Women Professional Services Spotlight, presented by New York Real Estate Journal.
The publication included women from a variety of professional real estate services and related fields such as finance, commercial real estate brokerage, development, construction, education, insurance, and law.
“I am honored to be included in this issue of New York Real Estate Journal, which recognizes women who excel in the often male-dominated real estate and construction fields,” Sushmita Roy said. “Women are uniquely detail oriented in maintaining an ability to multi-task, which is ideal for managing hectic construction projects while also being mindful of quality and schedule. The need for these attributes will only continue to grow in our post-COVID environment.”
As general counsel for HAP Construction, a full-service construction management company, Ms. Roy is responsible for several projects in Manhattan including the Maverick, a mixed-use residential development located in Chelsea.
“Congratulations to Sushmita, who has been integral in ensuring we remain committed to completing our projects on time and on budget,” said Stefano Braganti, Executive Vice President of HAP Construction.
Her many responsibilities include drafting and negotiating subcontracts, managing risks and litigation, settling disputes, and mitigating damages in potential future lawsuits.
“I am most proud of my role in helping to keep the Maverick moving during the pandemic, despite many obstacles that have arisen,” Ms. Roy said. “I was able to utilize my knowledge of the contracts and construction law to push the subcontractors to keep working, avoid delays, and perform work within their scope.”
