LERA Consulting Structural Engineers

LERA Consulting Structural Engineers traces its lineage to a Seattle practice founded in 1923, the firm that later engineered the original World Trade Center towers under Leslie E. Robertson. It moved its headquarters to New York, took the LERA name in 2018 and now works from 40 Wall Street with offices in Utah and India. Tall buildings are its signature: Lotte World Tower in Seoul and Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur are on its list. It also designs structures for museums, schools, hospitals and airports, and it has pushed the profession on embodied carbon. In the Bronx it’s the structural engineer for Success Academy’s new K-12 campus at 586 River Avenue, designed by SOM.
