Trinity Transforms Oceana Restaurant to Reinvent New York Dining Institution

Trinity Building and Construction Management Corp., a Mass-based general contracting and construction management firm, announced today that it has completed construction at Oceana Restaurant’s new location, inside the McGraw-Hill Building, at 1221 Avenue of the Americas at 49th St, New York, NY. Oceana has been recognized as one of New York’s most well-known seafood destinations since 1992.

Trinity provided the restaurant with a modernized and less formal version of its signature nautical atmosphere. While Oceana’s 54th Street location resembled the cosseted dining room of a luxury yacht, the new 49th Street location seats 180 diners, and its floor-to-ceiling windows overlook 49th Street. Both outdoor seating and a bar offer a more casual experience, as lunch and dinner are served inside the restaurant’s more formal dining room.

Oceana’s high-end features include custom fabric booths and banquettes with walnut details, and a large, contemporary canopy over the revolving door entryway. Other striking details include sliding glass doors that separate the private and main dining areas, a custom-built lobster tank that sits in the entrance to the kitchen, tiered decorative chandeliers, and a tremendous amount of stone. There is a private Chef’s room located within the state of the art kitchen for special functions, and there are Brazilian cherry floors, custom woven carpets, and large flowing hand made draperies.

Trinity has completed construction and Oceana is now open at its new Rockefeller Center location.
