NEW YORK — JRM Construction Management has completed a striking new Fogo de Chão restaurant at the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, further cementing the Brazilian steakhouse’s presence in one of the world’s most prestigious dining markets. This high-end build-out blends culinary sophistication with architectural elegance, making it a standout addition to both the restaurant’s global portfolio and the iconic NYC landmark.
In collaboration with Harrison Architects, WSP Structural Engineering, and RTM Engineering Consultants, JRM oversaw every phase of the project. The scope included constructing a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen, mechanical mezzanine, full-service bar, refined dining areas, and upscale restrooms. The design showcases meticulous craftsmanship with custom millwork, metal-and-glass partitions, and luxurious finishes that highlight focal points like the market table, the signature churrasco grill, and the central bar area.
To ensure the restaurant operates at peak efficiency, JRM integrated cutting-edge MEP systems that enhance both comfort and functionality for guests and staff. Attention to detail was paramount, reflecting Fogo de Chão’s dedication to exceptional dining experiences.
“We’re proud to have helped bring Fogo de Chão’s vision to life at such a landmark location,” said Joseph P. Romano, CEO of JRM Construction Management. “It’s a space that celebrates both craftsmanship and culinary excellence.”
This new restaurant joins Fogo de Chão’s growing portfolio of locations across the globe, underscoring the brand’s commitment to delivering authentic Brazilian hospitality in settings that match its culinary prestige. The World Trade Center location not only offers a prime dining destination for locals and tourists but also strengthens the area’s reputation as a hub for world-class cuisine.
The project also showcases JRM’s deep expertise in hospitality construction, where precision, luxury, and operational efficiency converge. Over the years, the company has delivered numerous high-profile hospitality spaces for global brands, consistently exceeding expectations in quality and execution.
