The 2021 Top Construction Projects is based on city and county permits issued during the year.
There’s another project that would rank on that list, but did not have to seek city permitting.
The project illustrates the importance of military contracts.
Jacksonville-based Haskell is the contractor for the almost $51.51 million Fleet Readiness Center Hangar 101 Repairs at 6801 Roosevelt Blvd. at Naval Air Station Jacksonville.

Haskell said the facility is occupied and operational throughout the repairs and renovations.
The project consists of interior and exterior renovations, electrical system replacement and upgrades, mechanical system replacement, and roofing replacement.
Haskell estimates completion March 17, 2023.
