新英格兰的建设活动似乎已经达到了一定的量，以至于区域设计公司和承包商比过去更容易使忙碌的忙碌。这就是一些参与今年地区市场调查的公司的观点。
在过去的两到三年中，剑桥Seven Associates Inc.在“ Red Hot”新英格兰市场上的工作占了75％，总裁兼首席执行官Gary Johnson说。马萨诸塞州剑桥市的中型公司以前在该地区内部和外部之间均匀地分开工作。约翰逊说：“这是我脑海中的一个快乐趋势。”“并不是说我们没有在该地区外面看，而是发现这里有很多好的项目。”18luck官网
这一趋势在新英格兰的首届顶级设计公司调查及其第二届高级承包新利luck商调查中都很明显。这家52家参与的设计公司报告说，2016年的区域收入总计18亿美元，而30个承包商的收入为88亿美元。去年，19个参与承包商的总收入为62.8亿美元。
ENR New England 2017 Top Design Firms
Hospitality Headquarters
The Top three firms in last year’s contractors ranking remain at the top of the chart this year, with Suffolk reporting $1.4 billion in revenue, Consigli Construction Co. Inc. tallying $1 billion and Shawmut amassing $699.1 million. Suffolk and Consigli are both working on the new General Electric headquarters on Boston’s Fort Point Channel.
The No. 11-ranked design firm, Gensler, with $47.12 million in revenue, is designing the $200-million, 400,000-sq-ft project.
新英格兰的健康经济正在激发增长，这在酒店业中最明显。今年的参与承包商和设计公司在该行业的总收入总计1.765亿美元。
One of Boston’s largest hospitality projects, One Dalton, is being built by Suffolk and designed by Cambridge Seven, which is the No. 24-ranked design firm. Cambridge Seven is collaborating with architect Pei Cobb Freed & Partners on the 61-floor luxury condo tower that will include Boston’s second Four Seasons Hotel. “We are one of a handful of cities around the world the Four Seasons wants two hotels in,” Johnson says. “There’s no question that hotels in the Boston region and even in New England are being built at an incredibly fast pace.”
同时，州官员最近宣布计划在该市会议中心附近建造波士顿最大的新酒店。这家耗资5.5亿美元的Omni Boston酒店是由排名第7的Elkus Manfredi Architects设计的，该建筑师也被任命为Enr New England年度最佳设计公司。新利luck设计公司Stull＆Lee和Moody Nolan正在该项目合作。
国家预算困境
尽管酒店工作做得很好，但国家预算困境正在拖延其他部门，例如基础设施。例如，康涅狄格州的预算赤字预计在两年期间的某一时刻将达到50亿美元。
“One of the first places they look to cut is infrastructure, so we are a little nervous about that,” says Dave Skerrett, senior vice president for The Middlesex Corp. which has a significant infrastructure portfolio in Connecticut.
然而，这家排名第18的公司的收入为1.3076亿美元，并不关心其现有的在康涅狄格州的项目，包括预计将于11月完成的I-95 West River Bridge康复。18luck官网该公司最近还与第10名Cianbro（2.7852亿美元的收入）签署了一家2.36亿美元的合资企业，以恢复Norwalk的Walk Railroad Bridge。这座121岁的可移动跨桥将火车交通带入纽约市。
罗德岛州,缅因州和马萨诸塞州也开始their fiscal years without budgets. Skerrett says the Massachusetts Dept. of Transportation, after tackling several mega-infrastructure projects in recent years, is now focused on repairing the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s dilapidated infrastructure.
这样的Massdot Megaproject是将波士顿连接到剑桥的历史悠久的朗费罗桥的康复。Consigli的合资企业，排名第6的Skanska和J.F. White正在建设英联邦30亿美元加速桥梁计划的五个主要项目之一。18luck官网维护2,135英尺长的桥梁的历史性特征包括Cianbro的工作，为裸露地区的热卷钢的老式铆钉组装成会员。
Back of the Class
Faced with its own fiscal constraints, Massachusetts’ system of public colleges and universities recently announced a mandate to repair buildings constructed four or more decades ago rather than replacing them.
剑桥七人在教育领域的业务占25％至35％，但任务并没有麻烦约翰逊，因为他说，肠道康复的费用比设计新设施的费用更高，因为“您必须评估那里的东西”。
Nevertheless, Johnson is watching the region’s real estate bubble, noting that such bubbles tend to burst every seven to 10 years. “We just passed that seven-year mark from the last recession, and architectural firms are notorious for being the canary in the coal mine,” he says. “But so far, fingers crossed, knock on wood, things are looking good.”
