In\u00a0BLDG 44 Developers LLC v. Pace Companies N.Y., LLC<\/em>, 2025 N.Y. Slip Op 32881(U) (Sup. Ct., N.Y. County July 25, 2025) (here<\/a>), BLDG 44 Developers LLC sued Pace Companies New York, LLC for breach of contract, seeking approximately $16 million in consequential damages<\/a> related to delays in a construction project on E. 44th Street, New York, N.Y. BLDG, the project owner, was a third-party beneficiary to a subcontract between Pace and Noble Construction Group, which was later replaced by a joint venture. The subcontract required Pace to perform HVAC work and included indemnification provisions for damages caused by delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pace moved for partial summary judgment to dismiss BLDG\u2019s claim for consequential damages. The motion court granted the motion, finding that the subcontract did not explicitly provide for consequential damages, such as lost rents or revenues. The motion court noted that while the subcontract mentioned indemnification for damages, it did not specify consequential damages, and the inclusion of liquidated damages suggested intentional exclusion of other types of damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court emphasized that consequential damages must be foreseeable and contemplated by the parties at the time of contracting. The motion court held that BLDG failed to present evidence that such damages were discussed or anticipated during negotiations. The motion court also rejected BLDG\u2019s reliance on industry standards and external documents, stating that the clear and unambiguous language of the subcontract governed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequently, the motion court ruled that the absence of express language regarding consequential damages barred BLDG\u2019s claim, and granted Pace\u2019s motion for partial summary judgment, dismissing the consequential damages claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BLDG owns a 43-story mixed-use building located on E. 44th Street, New York, N.Y. (the \u201cBuilding\u201d). On May 29, 2015, BLDG and former third-party defendant Noble Construction Group, LLC (\u201cNoble\u201d) entered into an agreement (\u201cPrime Agreement\u201d) in which Noble was to serve as the general construction manager on the construction of the Building (the \u201cProject\u201d) in exchange for $175,982,009. On February 1, 2016, Noble and defendant entered into a subcontract in which defendant was to perform heating, ventilation, and air conditioning trade work for the Project in exchange for $12,200,000 (\u201cSubcontract\u201d). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Section 7.2 (e) of the Subcontract provided, in pertinent part, that if there were delays in the progress of the work on the Project or a failure to coordinate with other contractors by defendant then BLDG was entitled to recover its damages (including liquidated damages if applicable) in connection with such delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 1, 2016, BLDG and Noble amended the Prime Agreement (\u201cAmendment No. 2\u201d), replacing Noble with Noble\/Suffolk, a joint venture LLC (\u201cJV\u201d). In Amendment No. 2, BLDG and JV agreed to \u201cwaive Claims against each other for consequential damages arising out of or relating to the [Prime] Agreement except as set forth in the last sentence of this Item No. 2.\u201d The waiver provision explained that \u201c[t]his mutual waiver include[d], without limitation, damages incurred by [BLDG] for losses of use, income (including, but not limited to rental income), profit, financing, business and reputation, and for loss of management or employee productivity or of the services of such persons.\u201d \u201cNotwithstanding the foregoing,\u201d the parties agreed that the JV would \u201cbe liable for consequential damages arising out of [the] Agreement to the extent caused by its breach or negligence or the breach or negligence of anyone for whom [JV] [was] responsible in an aggregate amount not to exceed fifty percent (50%) of [JV]\u2019s Fee as set forth in the most updated schedule of values.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 23, 2018, JV provided defendant with a delay notice regarding the Project after the JV received a notice of delay from BLDG regarding defendant\u2019s work (\u201cDelay Notice\u201d). The Delay Notice stated that BLDG would \u201cbe seeking reimbursement for damages and consequential damages resulting from such delay\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On January 16, 2020, BLDG commenced the action against defendant as a third-party beneficiary alleging that defendant breached the Subcontract. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defendant moved for partial summary judgment seeking to exclude $16 million in consequential damages from any potential award in BLDG\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Motion Court\u2019s Decision<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BLDG argued that defendant explicitly agreed to indemnify BLDG for consequential damages incurred resulting from defendant\u2019s delay. Specifically, BLDG argued that the language in Section 7.2(e) of the Subcontract included consequential damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under New York law, \u201c[i]n claims for breach of contract, a party\u2019s recovery is ordinarily limited to general damages which are the natural and probable consequence of the breach; any additional recovery must be premised upon a showing that the unusual or extraordinary damages sought were within the contemplation of the parties as the probable result of a breach at the time of or prior to contracting.\u201d[1]<\/a>  A party may seek consequential damages if they were foreseeable and contemplated by the contracting parties at the time the contract was made.[2]<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applying the foregoing principles, the motion court held that \u201cthe evidence fail[ed] to demonstrate that consequential damages of lost rents and revenues were contemplated by the parties to the Subcontract.\u201d[3]<\/a> The motion court found that \u201cthe plain language of the Subcontract, itself, [did] not specifically provide for indemnification of consequential damages.\u201d[4]<\/a> \u201cConsequential damages in a breach of contract case are not allowable where the contract contains no provision or language indicating that recovery of consequential damages was within the contemplation of the parties[,]\u201d said the motion court.[5]<\/a> The motion court noted that the \u201cterms of the Subcontract [did] not suggest that consequential damages would be covered.\u201d[6]<\/a> Moreover, noted the motion court, \u201cBLDG ha[d] not identified \u2026 any other term in the Subcontract that would support such damages.\u201d[7]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAbsent a contractual provision providing for such coverage,\u201d said the motion court, \u201cin order \u2018[t]o determine whether consequential damages were reasonably contemplated by the parties, courts must look to the nature, purpose and particular circumstances of the contract known by the parties . . . as well as what liability the defendant fairly may be supposed to have assumed consciously, or to have warranted the plaintiff reasonably to suppose that it assumed, when the contract was made.\u201d[8]<\/a> Thus, explained the motion court, \u201cthe question is whether [defendant] and Noble reasonably foresaw or contemplated [defendant] being held liable for BLDG\u2019s consequential damages of lost rents and revenues \u2026 due to [defendant]\u2019s alleged delays at the time they entered the Subcontract.\u201d[9]<\/a>  The motion court held that \u201c[t]here [was] no evidence of such contemplation.\u201d[10]<\/a>  \u201cFor example,\u201d said the motion court, \u201cthere [was] no evidence that establishe[d], or at a minimum raise[d] an issue of fact, that the issue of liability for lost revenue and rents was contemplated by the parties at the time of contract negotiations.\u201d[11]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the motion court rejected BLDG\u2019s attempt to use extrinsic evidence to support its claim for consequential damages. BLDG argued that consequential damages are common in the construction industry and that the motion court could take judicial notice of the American Institute of Architects form agreement, which includes a provision waiving consequential damages.[12]<\/a> The motion court explained that there was \u201cno need to turn to extrinsic evidence\u201d because Amendment No. 2 was clear and unambiguous.[13]<\/a>  In that regard, the motion court found that \u201cthe agreement itself suggest[ed] the omission was purposeful. Amendment No. 2 to the Prime Agreement contain[ed] a provision limiting JV\u2019s liability for consequential damages. If the parties intended to include consequential damages as part of the Subcontract, they would have specifically so stated.\u201d[14]<\/a>  The motion court concluded that \u201c[t]he best and only evidence that the court has [was] the Subcontract itself, which [made] no mention of consequential damages, unlike liquidated damages, which are specifically referenced.\u201d[15]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accordingly, the motion court granted defendant\u2019s motion for summary judgment and dismissed any claim for consequential damages.[16]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takeaway<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As discussed, consequential damages are recoverable only if they were foreseeable and contemplated by both parties at the time they entered the contract. Courts look to the language in the parties\u2019 contract to make that determination. Thus, as shown in BLDG<\/em>, even if a party believes consequential damages are implied or customary, courts will rely on the language of the agreement if it is clear and unambiguous. In BLDG<\/em>, the motion court determined that the agreements at issue were clear and unambiguous. Lending support to that finding was the presence of a liquidated damages clause in the Subcontract, which suggested to the motion court that the parties intentionally excluded other types of damages, such as consequential damages, as recoverable damages.[17]<\/a> Therefore, based upon the evidence presented, the motion court determined dismissed BLDG\u2019s request for consequential damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
