With more than 30 years of experience in the field, Lettire Construction Corporation is well-known in New York City’s multi-family housing sector.

Nicholas Lettire and Gerard Lettire co-founded Lettire Construction in 1979. They believe in a “hands-on” approach to construction, which must be applied equally to very high-end interior residential work as well as to institutional supportive housing projects. They adopted this approach as they came up through the ranks learning the trades of carpentry and painting. Nicholas Lettire remains intimately involved in all aspects of construction, from the initial bidding process through day-to-day supervision to final completion. This personal commitment to each project drives what Nicholas Lettire believes should be the value proposition for a successful construction practice: to consistently deliver a high-quality product that creates real value for its customers. Their industry knowledge and ability to be effective construction team managers provides a solid foundation to this development team.
