Working on a very tight time schedule, South Florida-based general contracting firm, U.S. Construction Corp.

Alocal institution for over 40 years, The Rusty Pelican is a mainstay for great food, incredible views and the perfect venue for any event.
From the newly redesigned exterior façade, valet drive-up and entryway, to the indoor and outdoor waterfront dining areas, either downstairs at the water’s edge or on the new upstairs dining terrace, the Rusty Pelican will amaze visitors with incredible vistas of Biscayne Bay, The Port of Miami, and Downtown Miami. The dining rooms and special event facilities have been completely transformed and can accommodate everyone from corporate functions to weddings with a capacity of up to 1300 guests.
Jim McKennon, Chief Operating Officer of Specialty Restaurants Corporation (the owner and operator of the Rusty Pelican), is extremely pleased with the project’s success. “U.S. Construction Corp. did an incredible job on the construction and management of this very challenging and complex project.
