HOW WE GET THE DATA Data for our Giants 400 charts is 400 based on information supplied Giants by the respective fi rms. Firms are asked to verify the accuracy of their data. The Construction section includes two types of statistics. The Contractors chart refl ects revenues for general contracting, design-build, CM at risk, and IPD—projects where all revenues fl ow through the contractor. The CM Agent + PM chart lists fi rms that derive their revenues through fees. In the market- specifi c sections (Hotels, Retail, etc.) data labeled “Construction” includes all delivery methods.

Want the latest color? Want color that lasts? At Sherwin-Williams, there’s no element too small for us to obsess over. To us color isn’t arbitrary. It’s human, environmental, emotional. Color is all we think about. That’s why we stay one step ahead of color trends. That’s why we are obsessed in making each detail count by putting our exterior metal coatings through the wringer. Because that’s how to make color tough enough to look its best after Nature’s thrown down her worst. So our clients’ visions shine for generations to come.

CIRCLE 769 2020 Giants 400 HOTEL REPORT RENOVATIONS COULD BE HOSPITALITY’S STOPGAP FOR NEXT FEW YEARS

The $78 million renovation of the 131-key Plaza Hotel at Pioneer Park in El Paso, Texas, was completed in June. The team, which included Cooper Carry and Forrest Perkins, reimagined the 1930s hotel with an eye toward establishing the facility as a regional destination. The lobby (opposite page), which includes an intimate library (above), functions as a vibrant hub for restaurant and bar concepts.

The 520 West 20th Street adaptive reuse project in New York City had a problem in trying to find a fire-resistive glass product to fit the large dimensions of a new three-story steel addition over the existing brick warehouse. In order to satisfy NYC code officials, the project architects turned to fire-resistive glass products manufactured by SAFTI FIRST. The ASTM E- 119-rated, fire-resistive SuperLite II XLB 120 system met the fire code requirement and, with a maximum clear view area of 7,980 inches and a maximum clear view height or width of 133 inches, SuperLite II-XLB 120 not only fit the project dimensions, but could go even bigger.
