LOCAL MARKET
Tenant improvement glazing in New York City
Almost every commercial build-out in New York happens inside an occupied building. Glass deliveries depend on freight elevator bookings and loading dock windows, and large panels have to fit through them.
Office build-outs rely heavily on interior glass to bring daylight deep into floor plates. Storefront work at street level is common in retail and restaurant build-outs.
In landmarked buildings and historic districts, storefront changes generally need approval from the city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission, which affects design and schedule.
