Ice Air was honored to be a sponsor at the annual Phipps Gala that took place on June 10, 2026, at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. The event honored Lettire Construction for their decades-long partnership and their work on major developments like Rockaway Village — an eight-building mixed-use complex in Far Rockaway, Queens.
Designed by Marvel and developed by Phipps, the Rockaway Village was constructed in five phases and yielded a total of 1,700 affordable homes along with 125,000 square feet of commercial and community facility space. The Phipps Gala itself is an annual fundraising event for Phipps Neighborhoods , an organization dedicated to creating affordable housing, education programs, and workforce development across New York City. The 2026 gala specifically celebrating the completion of Rockaway Village brought together a variety of community, construction and professional leaders together to honor Lettire Construction, one of the true leaders in mixed-income, affordable, supportive and institutional housing sectors.
A partner of the City of New York’s plan to build 800,000 homes by 2033, Lettire’s portfolio of work spans the private sector, building hospitality, retail, market-rate and luxury residential developments. More information, www.ice-air.com
