ENR New York is pleased to reveal the 2022 Regional Best Projects winners. This year’s judges selected 21 projects in New York and New Jersey in the magazine's main market categories.

While those 2022 winners can be found in the list below, the Best Projects safety and sustainability award winners, which are juried by a separate group of safety and sustainability experts, will be announced soon in the ENR New York free e-newsletter. Finalists for this year’s ENR New York Project of the Year will also be announced in the newsletter soon.

Judges’ selection for this year’s overall Project of the Year from the Best Project-level winners listed below will be announced in the November issue of ENR New York and at the ENR New York’s Best Projects awards event on Nov. 18. For more information about the Regional Best Projects event, please visit https://www.enr.com/enr-best-projects-awards/new-york

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 evaluated on the ability of the project team to overcome challenges, contribution to the industry and community, safety, and construction and design quality. ENR New York selected winners from a large number of entries received, so projects that did not win can choose to submit next year.

Decisions on Best Project-level and Award of Merit category winners were at judges' discretion. In some categories, judges decided not to give an award.
