According to the 2019 Construction Outlook presented by Dodge Data & Analytics Chief Economist Robert Murray, total construction starts are expected to remain flat at $808.3 billion in 2019. The data demonstrates a continued economic expansion, but there’s some evidence of deceleration. Despite this conclusion, construction work occuring in 2019 should stay close to the advanced levels achieved during the last few years, and there are no signs of a collapse in building activity.

ECHO Brickell
ECHO Brickell is a boutique, residential high-rise in the epicenter of Miami’s fastest growing metropolitan neighborhood, located on the coveted East side of Brickell Avenue. The 60-story building has a sleek and slender design, which is quickly becoming the crown jewel of Miami real estate. Despite its size, there are only 180 units with 1 to 4 bedroom layouts; all with spectacular views. For this project, MillerClapperton fabricated 10,273 square feet of Metal Composite Material panels.

The Highline at Union Market
This Spring, we shared with you that we were starting work on the Highline, a mixed-use development in Washington, DC. Above are progress pictures showing the installation of more than 50,000 square feet of material, including 32,850 square feet of Metal Composite Material panels. Designed by Eric Colbert & Associates, the modern-industrial design integrates warehouse style windows and framed glass cubes. Other unique elements include materials reminiscent of rail cars, and steel columns that echo the riveted steel supports of a nearby railroad underpass.
