History

Torcon was established as a general contracting firm by Benedict Torcivia in 1965. Serving clients throughout New Jersey, the company completed a wide variety of healthcare and commercial projects for private-sector customers. In 1974, Torcon completed its first project as a construction manager and within 10 years was one of the top construction management firms in the nation.

New Jersey’s suburban building boom of the 1980s helped expand Torcon's business, as major commercial buildings for clients such as Prudential, Hyatt, Marriot, and Hilton, were added throughout the state. In the early 1990's, Torcon developed strong expertise in pharmaceutical facility construction, serving as CM for several of the nation's premier R&D centers.

In 1998, Torcon opened its doors in Puerto Rico with its Metro Office Park location, situated in Guaynabo. The office has a staff of more than 50 engineers and construction professionals—full-time residents of Puerto Rico—and over eight years of on-island experience in pharmaceutical and medical device facility construction. More recently, company operations expanded with an office at the Philadelphia Navy Yards, and in 2006, Torcon's corporate headquarters relocated from Westfield to Red Bank, New Jersey.
