Professional Life and Business Career

Rinaldi began his high-rise residential career while at HRH, building structures like the 179-Unit, 43-Story
Le Grand Palais at 250 E. 54th Street, designed by Fox & Fowle Architects, the 521-Unit, 31-Story
Monterey at 175 E. 96th Street for The Related Companies as designed by Costas Kondylis & Associates
and the 207-Unit, 20-Story Fordham University Dormitory, Lincoln Center Campus at 113 W. 60th Street
designed by SLCE Architects. Prior to leaving HRH, Rinaldi worked on the $140 million modernization
and renovation project at Elmhurst Hospital Center in Queens, New York, although he changed gears
between 1994 and 1996, accepting an offer from DeFillipis Construction Corporation, a federal and
public works construction management firm then owned by two graduates of Lafayette College, which
together with Lehigh University forms the nation’s longest standing college rivalry. It was through that
college rivalry or later camaraderie that Rinaldi built his first public school P.S.#22 in Brooklyn, New
York, which in part, acted as a catalyst for his next venture into an equity position in his own general
construction and construction management firm.

In 1996, Rinaldi was named as Chief Operations Officer of the firm Crain Construction Company located in
Jersey City, New Jersey. Crain had been a company founded by a second generation entrepreneur who
had primary interests in the family business, although he had been looking to diversify their portfolio,
which did not include construction and development at the time. The firm had been in business for
2-years with little revenue at the time Rinaldi was named it’s COO. Between 1996 and 2000, Rinaldi grew
the firm into one of the most recognized and revered public works builders throughout New Jersey,
maintaining a book of business in excess of $150 million and annual sales over $35 million, and in 2000
Rinaldi was named the

firm’s President. Among the firm’s highlights was it’s prime contractor award on the retail shopping
center expansion project for Westfield Design and Development, namely the Garden State Plaza Mall
in Paramus, New Jersey, which became at the time, the 9th largest retail shopping center in the nation,
and an Honorable Mention Award by the Masonry Institute for the Sharon Road Elementary School
in Robbinsville, New Jersey, designed by the Spiezel Architectural Group. The exterior masonry brick
and pre-cast concrete façade was complete with various brick coursing ranging from running-bond to
stacked-bond and from soldier-bond to basket-weave with corner corbeling and quoining throughout
the building. On July 6, 1999 Rinaldi received professional recognition by Dun & Bradstreet and was
named to the Nationwide Register’s Who’s Who in Executives and Businesses, registered in the Library
of Congress, Washington, DC and later that year in October 1999, he was further distinguished locally
by being named to the Secaucus High School Alumni Achievement Hall of Fame, recognizing alumni for
their professional achievements in industry.

In 2003, after an onerous separation with the firm’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, Rinaldi
maintained the entire staff along with key personnel and management and founded Anthony T. Rinaldi,
LLC., d.b.a. The Rinaldi Group, a private commercial general contracting and construction management
firm building high- rise residential towers and hotels, assisted living and healthcare facilities, schools and
colleges, libraries and performing arts centers, municipal and Landmark buildings, athletic and training
facilities, retail shopping centers and restaurants, luxury spec homes and houses of worship and specialty
projects throughout New York City, Westchester, New Jersey, Florida and Arizona.
