The wins further solidify its reputation for quality, innovation, and leadership in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At ABC\u2019s annual gala, Moss received Project of the Year, the chapter\u2019s highest distinction, for its work on the transformative St. Regis Resort and Residences on Longboat Key. The firm also earned two Eagle Awards for the <a href=\"https:\/\/moss.com\/projects\/jw-marriott-beach-resort-spa\/\" title=\"\">JW Marriott Beach Resort &amp; Spa<\/a> and the Amalie Arena Ice Plant Replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese awards reflect Moss\u2019 drive to deliver not just exceptional buildings, but forward-thinking solutions,\u201d said Toby Manulak, Senior Vice President of Moss\u2019 Mid-Florida division, based in Tampa. \u201cOur teams thrive on taking challenges head-on\u2014through proactive planning, smart innovation, and a relentless focus on quality. That\u2019s how we continue to exceed expectations and build projects that stand the test of time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The $376 million St. Regis Resort and Residences showcased Moss\u2019 ability to manage coastal regulatory hurdles, complex logistics, and budget constraints\u2014while maintaining luxury standards. The team leveraged Building Information Modeling (BIM), dual subcontractors for key trades, and a strong commitment to local contractor engagement to complete the 28-month build, elevating Longboat Key\u2019s hospitality experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The JW Marriott Beach Resort &amp; Spa in Clearwater Beach, built during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, presented another unique set of challenges. Moss deployed just-in-time procurement and adaptive engineering to overcome supply chain issues and space limitations, delivering a 16-story resort that generated hundreds of local jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Amalie Arena, Moss modernized the facility\u2019s aging ice plant system while working around 33 scheduled events. Through night and weekend shifts, the team completed the upgrade safely and efficiently\u2014supporting uninterrupted operations for the Tampa Bay Lightning and arena events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt Moss, we don\u2019t just build buildings\u2014we build communities,\u201d said Tyler Harper, Project Executive at Moss. \u201cOur culture of excellence drives us to create places that strengthen economies, uplift people, and leave a legacy for the cities we serve.\u201d<br><br>\u201cWinning three awards in one year is a true testament to Moss\u2019 commitment to hiring quality ABC trade partners and leading with innovation,\u201d said Steve Cona III, President and CEO of ABC Gulf Coast Chapter. \u201cMoss consistently raises the bar for what\u2019s possible in construction by fostering collaboration, solving complex challenges, and creating lasting impacts with the projects they construct and in the communities they serve.\u201d<br><br>Moss\u2019 recognition at this year\u2019s gala underscores the company\u2019s leadership in problem-solving, local workforce development, and transformative project delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on this momentum, the Mid-Florida division is spearheading several high-impact projects, including One Tampa, a premier mixed-use tower in downtown Tampa; a multi-family community and trophy office tower in the Gasworx district; and the next phase of The Ritz-Carlton Residences on Sarasota Bay.
