Ronnette Riley Architect

City-funded organization

Ronnette Riley Architect is a New York City architecture firm founded in 1987 by Ronnette Riley, a 100% woman owned business enterprise with offices at 494 Eighth Avenue in Manhattan, working on renovation, historic restoration, accessibility design, and master planning projects. Its city contracts are concentrated in ADA compliance work for the Department of Citywide Administrative Services: a current $1.5 million contract that Checkbook NYC tags as a negotiated (no-bid) award, and an earlier $12 million ADA compliance renewal (2022 to 2025) also tagged as a no-bid renewal, sit alongside a separate DCAS ADA compliance contract for city court buildings and Health and Hospitals Corporation contracts for work at various HHC facilities that were won through competitive RFP or sealed bid processes, as were its City University Construction Fund design contracts for CUNY campus projects such as a LaGuardia Community College swimming facility renovation and Baruch College fire alarm upgrades. Across its $29 million in career NYC contract value, 50% ($14 million across 4 contracts) was awarded without a fresh competitive bid.
