According to the New York Building Congress, despite a 13 percent decline from 2016, 2017 construction spending is still the second highest total (in actual dollars) in New York City history. Notably Benchmark continued to deliver competitive results in the midst of lower construction spending forecasts. The New York Building Congress predicts record expansion during 2018 and 2019 as the market is expanding and targets are increasing and on track to meet or exceed 2016.
