About David Antonio

I'm a Senior MEP Project Manager with 20+ years of experience delivering complex, high-value construction projects across New York City, including the complete renovation of the historic Waldorf Astoria Hotel. My career spans public and private sector builds—from luxury high-rises to critical infrastructure—where I’ve led full-cycle MEP coordination, commissioning, and systems integration. I specialize in managing complex mechanical, electrical, and plumbing scopes from preconstruction through TCO. My work focuses on aligning technical execution with project goals around budget, schedule, sustainability, and code compliance. Notable Projects: • Waldorf Astoria – full renovation + residential conversion (Owner’s MEP Lead) • The Benson, 200 E 83rd – luxury high-rise MEP coordination • $100MM+ school and healthcare upgrades – SCA & Seton Pediatric Center • Tappan Zee Bridge Maintenance Facility – NYS Thruway Authority I collaborate across disciplines to solve tough problems—whether optimizing energy performance, navigating DOB approvals, or managing commissioning on occupied campuses or fast-tracked schedules. Backed by a mechanical engineering degree from Columbia University, I bring both technical rigor and on-site decision-making experience.
