With little fanfare but with a big impact in improving the quality of life in New York City, the Dept. of Design and Construction (DDC) has completed nearly 4,000 construction projects in the five boroughs since it was formed in the late 1990s to manage the building mandate of nearly all city agencies.
DDC now moves forward with a $15-billion project portfolio under its fourth commissioner—Feniosky Peña-Mora, a former engineering school dean at Columbia University who was appointed by Mayor Bill de Blasio in 2014. ENR New York has chosen the DDC as Owner of the Year based on the agency’s continued commitment to working with the regional construction community and in serving city businesses, institutions and residents.
