The Urban Land Institute (ULI) New York Chapter has announced its 2020 Awards for Excellence in Development finalists, and Citi Global Headquarters is among them. Each year, the Awards for Excellence recognize projects throughout New York State that strengthen communities with responsible and sustainable land use. Citi Global Headquarters was named a finalist in the “Repositioning or Redevelopment” category, and winners will be announced at a gala in April.
Since the 1980s, the site of the headquarters had been home to two distinct concrete-clad buildings, disconnected from each other. SOM consolidated and transformed the two buildings into a unified and highly sustainable campus—one that breaks down silos between business components, fosters a common culture, and connects the buildings to the surrounding community.
