Big Apple Holdings Group

Midtown East has its share of contractors, but few operate from a high-rise perch like Big Apple Holdings Group. They handle everything from tenant build-outs to full gut renovations, often for offices and retail spaces in the neighborhood’s older buildings. The address—222 E 44th St, 38th floor, suite 38E—puts them steps from Grand Central, a spot that keeps them close to the kind of clients who need permits filed yesterday and subcontractors coordinated across multiple trades.

If you’re planning a project that involves structural changes or mechanical upgrades, their team can walk you through the process without the usual jargon. A call to (646) 989-0041 usually lands you a conversation about feasibility rather than a sales pitch. For directions, pull up the map and take the elevator up; the view from the 38th floor is the only thing they won’t charge you for.
