This project, coupled with its sister project West Commercial Boulevard, won the 2013 Florida Public Works Project of the Year, as awarded by the state chapter of the American Public Works Association.

The CM at Risk fast-track project included complete reconstruction of the Lauderdale-By-The Sea downtown business district, including new public plazas built with custom precast pavers to represent the dunes, sand, and ocean. Project also included roadway reconstruction, drainage improvements, and architectural upgrades such as new lighting, landscape, and brick paver sidewalks. Project was completed on schedule and within budget despite numerous design modifications required by unknown existing conditions.
