LeChase Construction Services has received two prestigious 2024 Construction Risk Partners Build America Awards from the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of America.
Now celebrating its 80th anniversary, LeChase ranks among the nation’s top contractors – serving customers from its operations across the Eastern US. The firm was honored for the following:
- The Strong National Museum of Play expansion and parking garage project in Rochester, NY.
LeChase partnered with The Strong, owner’s representative Cornerstone and CJS Architects on this multi-year project to add fresh exhibits, updated amenities and more interactive play areas at the museum, which was already the largest cultural attraction in Western New York. The expansion celebrated its grand opening in June 2023. - Restoration of the Binghamton, NY, area’s historic EJ Victory Shoe Factory – now renamed Victory Lofts
LeChase partnered with Paulus Development to transform the long-vacant factory into 156 upscale market-rate apartments, with amenities and space for future retail. VIP Structures served as architect on the project, which held its ribbon cutting in late 2023.
The AGC annually presents the Build America Awards to honor the nation’s most impressive construction projects. The Strong Museum and the Victory Lofts received their awards March 21 at the AGC National Conference in San Diego.
