The Empire State Building

"King Kong Returns"

Back in 1983 when Lime Contracting, Inc. was completing the exterior renovation of the world famous Empire State Building, the owner; Mr. Harry Helmsley, had asked Lime Contracting, Inc. to participate in "King Kong's 50th Anniversary Return to the Empire State Building." This turned out to be the largest building mounted balloon in the world. When King Kong returned to the building, he was a whopping 82 feet high.

Company History

When my father started this business in 1959, it took the sweat of his brow and the strength of his heart to make it work. And in those days, if a man put enough of his sweat and heart into a dream, it usually became a dream come true.

Today, however, heart alone isn’t good enough. With razor sharp competition out there, not only does a man have to work harder, he has to work smarter.

Here at Lime Development, we’ve worked out ways to lower costs on exterior restoration, without lowering the standards my father established 50+ years ago. The kinds of standards and quality that went into our exterior restoration work on The Empire State Building, The Puck Building, and The American Stock Exchange Building.

We have also expanded our business into the commercial - retail construction field doing both new ground up construction and in-store operational remodels as a general contractor, plus building parking garages and medical complexes along with our strong restoration back ground we are now a full service general contractor.

Committed to total client satisfaction, our team has the experience and expertise to allow us to build lasting relationships with many of our clients, creating clients for life.  As a result, much of our work is done for repeat customers who have developed an appreciation for the leadership, capabilities and dedication of the Lime team.  Our difference is our people and team approach, this allows us to provide innovative solutions, increasing the quality and efficiency of every project while managing budget and schedule objectives.
