China Construction America (Chinese: 中建美国) Founded in 1985, China Construction America (CCA) is a subsidiary of China State Construction Engineering Corporation Ltd. (CSCEC) — the world's largest construction and real estate conglomerate and the biggest global contractor[1] — that operates on the East Coast of the U.S[2][3] and the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean,[4] and Latin America,[5] having many finished and ongoing projects worldwide. CSCEC was ranked the 18th on Fortune Global 500 list.[6]

Headquartered in Jersey City, NJ, CCA operates mainly in New York, New Jersey, Washington, DC, South Carolina, North Carolina, Louisiana, Florida, California, the Caribbean, and Panama. CCA provides a range of construction services, such as program management, construction management, general contracting, design-build and public-private partnership assistance for public and private clients.

CCA was ranked the 57th biggest contractors in the 2020 Engineering News-Record Top 400 Contractors list,[7] the 35th biggest construction management-at-risk firms by ENR in 2020,[8] the 35th on 2020 ENR Southeast Top Contractors,[9] and the tenth on the Top Contractors in Bridges.

History

[edit]

Founded in 1985, China Construction America (CCA) is a subsidiary of China State Construction Engineering Corp. Ltd. (CSCEC). In 2001, the CCA office in the World Trade Center was destroyed in the September 11 terrorist attacks, the company had to move its headquarters from the World Trade Center to Jersey City.[10][11] On April 4, 2014, CCA acquired Plaza Construction, one of the nation's leading construction management and general contracting companies. The sale is prompted by the dynamic growth of Plaza and Fisher Brothers' desire to focus on the development side of their business. According to Richard Wood, the CEO of Plaza Construction, the acquisition is more about creating strategic relationships and sharing resources.[12][13][14] During October 2014, The New York State Supreme Court judge ruled that contractor China Construction America (CCA) owed damages worth $1.6bn to the developer of the Baha Mar resort in the Bahamas, as CCA breached contracts and committed fraud to force the project out of the developer’s hands.[15]
