Miami-based Coastal Construction Group’s leadership is celebrating multiple honors, including Thomas P. Murphy Jr. receiving the 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Urban Land Institute Southeast Florida/Caribbean and the election of Dan Whiteman, vice chairman of Coastal Construction Group, by the National Academy of Construction as a member of its class of 2022. Murphy was honored in Miami Sept. 15, and Whiteman formally inducted Oct. 6 at the NAC Construction Hall of Fame Gala in Scottsdale, Ariz. Murphy became the youngest person in Florida to gain a contractor’s license when he did so at 19, founding Coastal Construction, which has grown over 54 years to build more than 50 million sq ft of vertical projects. Whiteman joined Coastal Construction in 1992 and served as its president from 2001-2015 and serving as vice chairman since that time. He’s been an active member of the AGC of South Florida, serving on its board of directors for 13 years.
