The decade long project to replace water siphons serving residents of Staten Island in New York City produced multiple challenges for the construction team.

After hosting numerous memorable sporting events during its 40-year history, the Carrier Dome achieved a landmark of its own with the replacement of its original air-supported roof—the last of its kind in the U.S.

Known as the Spiral, the 66-floor skyscraper in Hudson Yards used two main hoisting towers to quickly transport workers and material.

The rehabilitation of Troy’s 95-year-old seawall enhances the resiliency of the city’s waterfront business corridor against rising flood levels and protects an adjacent wastewater interceptor sewer. And the jobsite couldn’t have been more challenging.

Sustainability, history, quality and safety were themes throughout the process of replacing a deteriorated timber-decked bridge above a NJ Transit rail line with a high-strength prestressed single-span concrete box beam superstructure fabricated off site to help expedite construction.

Located beneath three active rail lines at Rotterdam Junction, N.Y., the 107-ft-long reinforced concrete pedestrian tunnel is among the last components to complete the 750-mile Empire State Trail.

In spite of 2020 challenges that included shuttering non-essential construction sites, the construction sector in New York and New Jersey completed scores of noteworthy projects—a number of which achieved recognition as ENR New York 2021 Best Projects.

At 900 ft tall, this luxury residential condominium is New Jersey’s tallest building. With more than 780 units, the limestone and glass curtain wall clad skyscraper’s wing shape maximizes views and provides a slender profile on the skyline.

The 850,000-sq-ft project consists of two residential buildings connected by a mixed-use podium and surrounded by an acre of public open space along the Brooklyn waterfront, helping transform the area from its industrial roots to a dynamic gateway neighborhood.

This waterfront hotel—the first to be built in Camden in more than 50 years—is part of a mixed-use urban neighborhood on the banks of the Delaware River that will include up to 1.2 million sq ft of office space, apartments, retail and an upgraded public park.
