The construction industry was once again challenged by increased costs and an ever-evolving hybrid work model in 2022. Housing needs continued to increase while office space hung in limbo. However, despite facing a myriad of challenges, Minnesota builders completed a variety of projects, including apartments, medical facilities, school renovations and more. Among those finished projects, an independent panel selected 50 honorees for Finance & Commerce’s annual Top Projects awards.

Projects honored this year include 610 Medical and a renovation to Historic Fort Snelling; several apartment buildings, and a number of manufacturing and distribution centers.

When selecting the projects, the panel of judges looked at the degree of difficulty, creativity in design, innovative construction techniques, cooperation among contractors and management, and sustainability efforts.
