New York Metro

About our New York Metro Office

“We serve one of the fastest growing construction markets in the country – extending from the lower Hudson Valley to New York City and into Western Connecticut and Northern New Jersey,” noted David Campbell, a LeChase vice president in the New York Metro office located in Armonk.

LeChase has been working in the region for more than 40 years and has received high ratings from clients, especially for its work on healthcare, science/technology, higher education and corporate interior projects. The office offers a full range of construction management services as well as the ability to self-perform a variety of work including carpentry, interior metal framing and concrete.

A key feature of the NY Metro office is its Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) Training Center. The center serves as a high-tech hub where LeChase employees, subcontractors and clients can learn about ICRA requirements and master the critical infection control measures needed during construction and renovation projects.

”LeChase is one of the finest contractors that I have dealt with in my more than 50 years’ experience in the construction industry. We couldn’t be more pleased with their professionalism, project supervision, and integrity.
Richard WishnieFormer Commissioner | Department of Emergency Services, Westchester County

”LeChase performed with integrity, delivering a quality life science facility for us. They helped mitigate design changes and reduce costs whenever possible, and their attention to detail is clear in the final product.
Sam CooperDirector, Facilities Operations | Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

”I have worked with several construction management companies and I must say LeChase is by far the best. The knowledge of your personnel is impeccable. We have a summer camp here as well and safety is number one. Your team has it all under control and sees things that I was unaware of. Their construction knowledge is second to none. We at Pocantico are more than happy to have LeChase on our team, or should I say leading our team.
Don BoothDirector of Facilities | Pocantico Hills CSD

”I have had the opportunity to work with LeChase on several projects, and generally have had very good experiences. On the Regeneron 4-1 project, the LeChase team performed extremely well with a challenging scope, timeline, and client demands. From the beginning of the project, LeChase's project leaders worked to foster a collaborative environment with the design team, which I believe helped the project tremendously.
