ENR New York’s 2019 Best Projects: 20 Times Square

Weeksville Heritage Center

Picking up a massive steel member by crane in a dense Manhattan neighborhood is tough. But the team constructing the 378,000-sq-ft 20 Times Square had to lift two dozen 60-ton plate girders on a Times Square property with 330,000 pedestrians passing by daily and a sidewalk that had to remain open. It was an extraordinary feat—one of many challenges the team faced.
