(Langan) and GZA GeoEnvironmental Inc.’s (GZA) motions to dismiss the claims of third third-party plaintiff Hudson Meridian Construction Group LLC, for contribution against them, unanimously affirmed. Order, same court and Justice, entered December 22, 2014, which, insofar as appealed from as limited by the briefs, granted third third-party defendant Gordon H. Smith Corporation’s (Gordon) motion to dismiss Hudson’s third third-party claim for contribution against it, and granted Gordon’s motion to dismiss defendants/third-party plaintiffs Crystal Curtain Wall System Corp. and Crystal Window and Door Systems, Ltd.’s (collectively, Crystal) cross claim for contribution against it, unanimously affirmed, with costs.

The motion court correctly dismissed Hudson’s contribution claims against Gilsanz, Marino, Langan, GZA, and Gordon (collectively, respondents), and Crystal’s cross claim for contribution against Gordon. Those claims are barred, because plaintiffs’ complaint seeks to recover only economic losses resulting from breach of contract (see Board of Educ. of Hudson City School Dist. v. Sargent, Webster, Crenshaw & Folley, 71 NY2d 21, 26-29 [1987]; Trump Vil. Section 3 v. New York State Hous. Fin. Agency, 307 AD2d 891, 897 [1st Dept 2003], lv denied 1 NY3d 504 [2003]; Rockefeller Univ. v. Tishman Constr. Corp. of N.Y., 232 AD2d 155, 155-156 [1st Dept 1996], lv denied 89 NY2d 811 [1997]).
