MG & Co.

Mark Goldberg is President and CEO of MG & Company, which he founded in 2004. A native New Yorker, Mark began his career in 1983 working for the New York Land Company to oversee the mechanical and lobby renovations of the Crown Building on 57th Street and Fifth Avenue. In 1985 he moved to the Riese Organization where he spent three years building fast food restaurants. Starting in 1989 and in the 15 years that followed Mark partnered with Rick Weisfeld to grow Bronx Builders, a construction company that since 1915 has worked exclusively in the food industry.

Mark is a former board member of the Goddard Riverside Community Center and a current trustee at The Windward School in Harrison, New York where he serves on the Real Estate and Buildings and Grounds committees. He is also the Board Chair of Footsteps, an organization devoted to supporting young adults raised in ultra- orthodox communities who are seeking to explore the world outside of the communities in which they grew up. Mark lives in New York City and is the father of two boys. He holds a B.A. in English Literature from CUNY.

Tim Lutz has worked in and with building trades in New York City for almost 35 years. In addition to being trained as a master carpenter, he has been a partner in several carpentry businesses, including the millwork shop Marvelous Muebles in Long Island City. On construction projects, Tim steadily worked his way from carpenter to project manager, and finally to his current position as estimator for MG & Company, a position he has held for ten years. He has handled projects with a range of budgets, from modest to multi-million dollar. Beginning with concept budgets that give owners a sense of their possible expenses through rounds of value engineering to final fixed proposals, Tim aims to bridge client goals with the realities of current pricing.

Almost 20 years managing all types of construction projects has taught Kevin that the most important thing on any project is to create a partnership with the client. Establishing a relationship built on trust, Kevin guides the client throughout the construction process, which can often be complex, and, especially in the case of opening a new restaurant in New York, quite daunting. Striving for quality and productivity, Kevin’s attention to clients’ goals and budget allows them to focus their energy on the countless other tasks new ventures require. At MG & Company, Kevin has put his particular expertise in restaurant construction to use; he recently completed Casa Nona and has worked on multiple projects for chefs Daniel Boulud and Bobby Flay, as well as many iconic New York fixtures such as Marea and the Institute of Culinary Education.
