Long Island Company of the Month

Hunt-Doyle Construction Services, Inc.
A New Partnership Brings a Wealth of
Building Experience to Long Island


 By Carol Froehlig, correspondent

Hunt Doyle

Over the past five years, I have interviewed David Hunt, president of Hunt Corporate Services, Inc. (Syosset, NY) several times, the first time as he was piloting his airplane to Wallkill, New York, to take aerial photographs for a new client.   Each interview was a result of his firm being named Company of the Month by the New York Real Estate Journal. 
 
Established in 1981, Hunt's firm has carved a very successful niche in exclusively representing Long Island companies for the acquisition and disposition of commercial real estate.   Both the firm and David Hunt, individually, have been named as Top 20 Brokers by Real Estate Forum magazine and the Costar Group (Bethesda, Md. - NASDAQ), one of the largest independent providers of commercial real estate information. Unlike traditional real estate brokers, however, Hunt works with clients only through exclusive contracts.  His firm serves as an outsourced real estate department for an impressive array of Long Island companies.

Today, however, my interview is about a new company, Hunt-Doyle Construction Services, Inc., which has been named Company of the Month by the New York Real Estate Journal. My meeting today will be with both David Hunt, president of the new construction company, and his partner, Dennis Doyle who is Chief Executive Officer.  Hunt-Doyle Construction Services will be specializing in interior commercial construction in the northeast region of the country.
 
Doyle most recently was Vice President, Construction, Planning & Design at Davis Vision, Inc. (Plainview, NY.)  There he oversaw the development and real estate strategy for over 500+ locations, as well bearing the responsibility for the construction and maintenance of national corporate offices, laboratories and manufacturing facilities.
 
I joined the two over lunch in a quiet restaurant in Syosset, a short distance from their offices.
