LeChase has received an ENR New York 2022 Regional Best Project Award of Merit for construction of the LEGOLAND® New York Resort. The award came in the Sports/Entertainment category.
LeChase served as construction manager for the 150-acre destination – the Northeast’s first new theme park in decades. Working in close collaboration with the park’s owner, Merlin Entertainments, LeChase built 64 buildings, including the 250-room resort hotel. The construction team also handled a number of special tasks that ranged from hanging the colorful and playful elements on the buildings, to erecting the steel for the Dragon roller coaster. The massive project had more than 50 contractors and 600 workers on site daily.
Industry publication ENR New York conducts its Regional Best Projects competition each year. For 2022, judges selected 21 winners in eleven categories. Click here for the full listing. ENR will present the awards at a ceremony in New York City on November 18.
Earlier this year, the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of America honored LeChase and the project with a 2022 Construction Risk Partners Build America Merit Award.
