HLZAE fixes buildings. HLZAE specializes in the restoration, preservation, and alteration of existing buildings, including their mechanical, electrical and structural systems. Our team of architects, engineers, technical specialists, and building systems specialists offer particular expertise in the adaptive reuse of existing buildings, exterior envelope, forensic investigation and MEP.

Our qualified and professionally trained staff has extensive experience in performing these functions for building managers, building owners, developers, and public agents. HLZAE strives toward finishing projects on-time and within budget while achieving compliance with technical, local, state and federal design requirements; construction standards; governing safety procedures; and environmental codes.

HLZAE approaches every new project with the same goals: to design, protect, and enhance the long-term value of the property as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. For decades, this approach has attracted new clients, earned their trust, and consistently won the firm repeat business from many of New York City’s well-established real estate firms and entities.
