ABOUT US
Leeann Development, LLC was established by Michele Catanio, a seasoned professional in the field. Initially, the company operated as a subsidiary of Leemark Electric, Inc, which is still owned and managed by Anthony.
The team at Leeann is respected among building departments throughout Hudson, Bergen, and Essex Counties in New Jersey. Michele and her team exceed the typical expectations of permit expediting. They participate in job meetings, conduct plan and denial reviews, and will coordinate inspections with the city.
The company maintains a close collaboration with design professionals, fostering strong relationships with them.
WHAT WE DO
At Leeann Development, LLC, we specialize in overseeing the permitting process for construction and development projects—from zoning approvals and building permits to final certificates of occupancy.
Our team provides expert guidance on code and zoning compliance, coordinates directly with clients, plan reviewers, and municipal officials, and ensures all construction documents meet local regulations. We expedite permits across all disciplines and facilitate pre-submittal meetings to keep your project moving forward.
Our pre-construction planning includes close coordination with PSE&G for early site work, including utility relocations. We also manage jobsite logistics, acting as a liaison with city agencies to secure sidewalk and street occupancy permits and coordinate closures as needed.
Why Choose Us?
We know the permitting process inside and out. With years of experience working directly with city agencies, utility providers, and construction teams, we help keep projects moving by anticipating challenges and handling the details before they become delays. Our approach is straightforward, responsive, and built on real working relationships — not guesswork.
