This year’s winning projects in the main categories—listed at the bottom of this post—will also be profiled in depth in the November print issue of ENR New York. Projects were all located in New York and New Jersey.
Projects were evaluated on the ability of the project team to overcome challenges, safety, construction/design quality, and contribution to the industry and the community. Due to the large number of entries, we can only cite a fraction of projects submitted each year, so projects that did not win this year can be submitted next year if they are still eligible!
This year’s New York judges for the main categories were Mara Johnston, managing principal at Keystone Global and Verity Frizzell, principal at Feltz & Frizzell Architects LLC.
Judges could select any combination of Best Project-level and Award of Merit category winners. In some categories, judges decided not to give an award for the category.
