ENR California’a April issue will feature a ranking of the biggest projects to break ground during 2013. The list will include 25 (or more) of California's largest starts, and new this year, Hawaii's top 5 project starts.
These top construction starts total over $11 billion in construction activity for the construction industry in California and Hawaii. All of these projects are valued at well over $100 million.
The project starts are listed alphabetically below, along with the cities where they are being built. Be sure to read the April edition of ENR California to learn where each of these projects rank, and to find out additional information such as construction costs and project teams. The Top Starts 2013 section will also feature interviews with key members of the project teams.
The following list is preliminary, and is subject to change as additional information becomes available prior to publication of the ranking. Think we've missed a project over $100 million that began construction in 2013? Please let us know in the comments field below or via email at ENR.california@mhfi.com. Note a project start is defined as the beginning of construction activity on the job site, as opposed to just the start of pre-construction or a formal ground-breaking ceremony.
