After winning a regional ENR award, Wilmington Waterfront Park in Wilmington/Los Angeles, California; and 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue (formerly Square 54, shown) in Washington DC, both moved on to the national competition and earned a Best of the Best 2011 designation.
Wilmington Waterfront Park, submitted to ENR California by Sasaki, won in the Best Landscape/Hardscape/Urban Development category, while 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, submitted to ENR New York by Clark Construction Group, won in the Best Retail/Mixed-Use Developments category. Out of 119 regional Best Projects winners, an independent jury of design and construction professionals selected 18 winners in categories ranging from green building to transportation. Projects were judged on safety, innovation, contribution to the industry/community, aesthetic and functional quality of design and construction craftsmanship.
The February 13, 2012 issue of Engineering News-Record, a McGraw-Hill Construction publication, will feature the winners.
