St. Regis Longboat Key project wins regional construction award

The St. Regis Longboat Key continues to rack up awards and recognition after nearly one year of opening the resort on Longboat Key. 

Associated Builders & Contractors recently awarded “Project of the Year” awards to the lead contractors for the St. Regis Longboat Key. 

“The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort stands as a testament to what happens when world-class vision meets exceptional execution — and ABC is proud to honor the two contractors behind it,” a press release said.

The Florida Gulf Coast Chapter of ABC awarded Moss Construction the award in the General Contractor category, and BCH Mechanical won the award in the Specialty Contractor category for their work on the St. Regis.

Moss Construction led the project within a 28-month timeline, according to the release. The company brought in over 700 workers and utilized a daily shuttle service to avoid traffic disruptions on the island.

Quality was a key goal for Moss Construction, bringing in European stone and unique water features throughout the $376 million project. 

BHC Mechanical received recognition for outstanding work behind the scenes with the property’s HVAC systems and energy-efficient controls to power the resort. 

“BCH’s work often took place behind the scenes, but its impact is felt in every corner of the resort—from the consistent climate in each unit to the state-of-the-art mechanical rooms supporting this world-class facility,” the release states. 

The St. Regis Longboat Key opened with an unveiling ceremony on Aug. 16, 2024, and gradually ramped up to full operations in the months that followed.
