On Friday, December 1, the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce hosted its 62nd Annual Building Awards ceremony. The event, hosted at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas, shined a spotlight on the exceptional talent and innovation in the construction, building, and design industry.

This year’s event marked a significant transformation in the event format, which utilized the Alamo Drafthouse’s massive movie theater screen to showcase the winners and their projects. The sold-out event hosted more than 200 representatives from the borough’s building, construction, and design industries.
