    Finance & Commerce announces Top Projects of 2023

    By Finance & Commerce,

    2024-05-09

    The construction industry continued to experience its fair share of challenges in 2023. From persistent inflation to higher interest rates and labor shortages, developers have had to be flexible and steadfast to get projects from the proposal stage to completion. Despite all those challenges, last year saw so many successful project completions that 54 honorees were selected for Finance & Commerce’s annual Top Projects awards.

    Projects honored this year include Fieldhouse Dinkytown, a renovation of Turnblad Mansion and Carriage House in Minneapolis, several medical facilities, and a number of manufacturing and distribution centers.

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

    The projects will be featured in a special magazine and in a series of stories and photos in the Finance & Commerce daily newspaper and on the F&C website starting in July. The people and companies behind the projects will also be honored at a July 18 event at Quincy Hall in Minneapolis. Ticket and additional event information can be found here .
