In the April 14 print edition, ENR Texas & Louisiana will list the top 25 largest projects by total value that broke ground across the region in 2013.

More than $15 billion in work is included in this year's top starts list, with work spanning across Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. That’s a full billion dollars more in projects in the region compared to last year.

The 25 project starts are listed alphabetically below, along with each project’s location and owner/developer. Look for more details on each project in our April issue.

Please keep in mind that the following list is preliminary, and is subject to change as additional information becomes available prior to publication of the ranking. Also, because this ranking has been ordered according to total project value, those projects that were unable or unwilling to disclose their total project value have not been included.

Have we missed a project valued over $200 million that began construction in 2013? Please let us know. Drop me an email at louise.poirier@mhfi.com.
