CANY is a highly effective, experienced collaboration of architects, engineers, conservators, and technicians, and for almost three decades we have provided services across the whole spectrum of restoration, renewal, and new design of façades of New York City’s most distinctive historic and new buildings. Understanding the complexities of our city’s architectural heritage, whether maintaining an historic landmark, revitalizing an existing building, or constructing something new, our cross-discipline approach ensures projects become assets to our city.

New York can be tough for buildings. Extreme weather, strict safety requirements and a vibrant population with hugely diverse needs. With our focus very specifically on the building envelope, we work with building owners, their architects, and contractors to help create sustainable exteriors that balance these competing demands.

Understanding the tension between architects’ visions, budget constraints, occupancy disruption, and owner obligations, our extensive experience delivers projects that honor the aesthetics but comply with regulations and local laws, including the FISP and Local Law 97, within a budget and timescale that works for everyone.

CANY’s services are designed to help clients at all stages of the process, enabling people to the create environmentally sustainable buildings that interact harmoniously with the fabric of the city, and provide safe living and working spaces for New Yorkers. Whether for owners, occupants, neighbors, or pedestrians walking by.
