About our New York Capital Region Office
“The New York Capital Region is one of the country’s emerging manufacturing and technology hubs, and LeChase has delivered local projects totaling more than a half-billion dollars within these segments,” noted LeChase Vice President David Hollander. The regional team also focuses on multifamily housing, mixed-use development, higher education and healthcare projects across the region.
In 2022, LeChase further elevated its ability to serve area customers by acquiring Sano-Rubin, a respected firm with more than 112 years of experience in the area. Working from offices in Schenectady’s Mohawk Harbor Complex — which LeChase built for a local client – the blended team continues to build on its reputation for delivering excellence and being an active, engaged member of the local community.
“From construction management and design-build to general construction, and on projects of all sizes,” Hollander added, “we are committed to offering our clients the best in service and creating lasting partnerships within the region.”
Regional leadership and team members
With decades of experience spanning all phases of construction, Dave joined LeChase in 2022 through the acquisition of Albany-based Sano-Rubin Construction Services, LLC, where he served as president and was the fourth generation of the Rubin family to lead the company.
Dave holds an M.B.A. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a B.S. in civil engineering from Union College. He is actively involved in the community, serving on the boards of the Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region, The Albany Academy, the B’nai B’rith Foundation, the Associated General Contractors of New York State, and the Union College Civil and Environmental Engineering Advisory Board.
His past leadership roles include positions with Congregation Beth Emeth, the Daughters of Sarah Nursing Home, and the Men Wear Pink breast cancer campaign. He has also contributed to workforce development initiatives with the East Greenbush Central School District and Hudson Valley Community College.
”This is my first time working with LeChase and it is a breath of fresh air compared to other contractors I have worked with in the Albany market. Having had previous experience in the Boston market the level of sophistication and professionalism is comparable. I look forward to working more with LeChase on future projects!
