After a frenzied 2018, when five projects valued between $300 million and $860 million broke ground, construction starts over $300 million across the Southwest slowed in 2019, with just two projects above that level. The top 25 of the 55 ranked projects in the region represent $3.09 billion in work, down significantly from the previous year’s $5.3 billion.
Each year, ENR Southwest lists the largest projects to break ground in the prior year, ranked by construction cost, in Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico. Projects for which owners declined to disclose their costs were not included.
