Where we build
Luxury Home Building in Manhattan
Manhattan projects run inside tight limits: narrow lots, shared walls, restricted deliveries and strict building rules. Our design-build team plans each project around those limits, so the schedule, the budget and the finish quality hold from the first drawing to the handover.
Townhouse and Brownstone Projects
We renovate and restore Manhattan townhouses and brownstones from the cellar to the roof.
- 01Facade restoration and repointing
- 02Structural repair and floor framing
- 03New kitchens, bathrooms and staircases
- 04Restored plaster, millwork and woodwork
- 05Updated electrical, plumbing and heating systems
- 06Roof decks and rear garden work
Our approach
Co-op and Condo Apartment Renovation
Apartment renovations start with the building. We read the alteration agreement, prepare the drawings and the insurance documents, and follow the building's work hours and freight elevator schedule. We protect the common areas, and we keep the board and the managing agent informed until the apartment passes final sign-off.
Permits and approvals
Approvals and Building Rules in Manhattan
- New York City Department of Buildings permits and filings
- Landmarks Preservation Commission review for projects in historic districts
- Co-op and condo board approval
- Building insurance and access requirements
- Energy and Local Law 97 requirements for building systems
We prepare the paperwork, submit it and track each approval, so construction starts on a confirmed schedule.
