ENR New England is pleased to announce the 2021 ENR New England Best Projects winners.

While the winners of the main categories can be found in the list below, the Best Project safety and sustainability award winners, which are juried by separate experts, will be announced soon in the ENR New England free e-newsletter. The finalists for this year’s ENR New England Project of the Year will also be announced soon in the e-newsletter.

The Judges’ selection for this year’s overall Project of the Year from the Best Project-level winners listed below will be announced in the November issue of ENR New England and the ENR New England Best Projects awards event in November. For more information about the Regional Best Projects event, please visit: https://www.enr.com/enr-best-projects-awards/boston

This year’s 18 winning projects in the main categories—which are listed at the bottom of this post—will also be profiled in depth in the November print issue of ENR New England.

Due to the large number of entries, we can only honor a fraction of the projects that are submitted each year, so if your project didn’t win this year, please be sure to submit next year! Judges could select any combination of Best Project-level category winners and Award of Merit honorees. If you don't see an award in your category, it is likely that the judges decided not to hand out an award for that category.
