WELCOME TO SIDEWALK SUPERS!
Supervising the rebuilding of the world’s greatest city...from the street
For as long as there have been construction projects there have been eagle-eyed members of the public monitoring developments from the sidelines, offering opinions and observations to the professionals on the job. Filling an indispensable role in the real estate development ecosystem, sidewalk superintendents have been lionized, demonized, welcomed and ejected as they ply their trade in the canyons of the city.
The New York Sidewalk Superintendents Society brings together construction professionals and aficionados, establishes best practices, offers sanctioned tours of the City’s most interesting construction sites, provides a wealth of resources for those who would like to learn, and presents a coveted annual award to the year’s best project as chosen by our members.
