About our Central New York Office
More than 35 years ago, LeChase first ventured outside of the Rochester area, building a project in Oneida County. Today, the Central New York Region – based in Syracuse, N.Y. and reaching east to Utica and south to Ithaca – has grown to be an important market for the company. “A continuing mix of both public and private spending in the region provides a steady stream of construction opportunities, and our LeChase culture – built on safety, quality and doing the right thing – aligns with the high standards of our client base,” noted LeChase Senior Vice President Lee Sommerman. The region, which handles new construction and renovations across a range of markets, is especially recognized for its work on higher education, K-12, science and technology, industrial, and commercial projects.
Regional leadership and team members
”LeChase has served as general contractor on three IDA-supported projects and continues to be an outstanding partner, producing quality workmanship that serves the needs of Ithaca’s businesses and communities. Their professionalism, familiarity with IDA processes, and timely and accurate reporting are a model for public-private collaboration. Their commitment to local labor is also exemplary, as evidenced by a 67% achievement rate on the recently completed Harold’s Square project and is helping set the standard by which future developments are measured.
Heather McDanielExecutive Director | Ithaca Area Economic Development
”LeChase operates on a basis of constant communication. They provided succinct reports for the District… and participated in facilities committee meetings. This has developed a sense of professional trust over the years. They do this by being good communicators.
James RodenFormer Assistant Superintendent | Baldwinsville CSD
”Working with Marc Macro and the LeChase team has been very good. They are a professional; organized team that creates quality projects. We have completed multiple projects with quality results.
Jim BlumSenior Project Manager | Syracuse University
”LeChase has been extraordinarily accommodating and communicative with myself and in daily interactions with the client, the user-group and CU entities. They’ve managed to complete a project on an intensely occupied floor of the building with very little impact. I’ve been impressed.
