Construction Owners Editorial Team

Nagelbush Mechanical has added another major boost to Tutor Perini’s Florida pipeline with the award of $154.6 million in mechanical and plumbing contracts across multiple residential high-rise developments in South Florida.

The company will deliver MEP scopes on five projects, including a mix of luxury condominiums and large-scale rental communities in Miami, Sunny Isles Beach and West Palm Beach. The awards were disclosed in a Monday announcement from Tutor Perini.

Four of the jobs increased Tutor Perini’s Q3 2025 backlog and include:

  • Bentley Residences, a 62-story, 213-unit luxury tower in Sunny Isles Beach, carrying the iconic automotive branding
  • The Residences at 1428 Brickell Avenue, a 72-story premium condo with 189 units in Miami’s luxury corridor
  • JEM Miami Worldcenter, a 61-story mixed community with 530 rentals and 259 condominium units, part of Miami’s massive Worldcenter development
  • Namdar Tower 2, a 42-story tower with 712 rental apartments in Miami

The fifth project — Olara, a 26-story mixed-use building in West Palm Beach — was previously booked to Tutor Perini’s Q1 2025 backlog.

Tutor Perini acquired Nagelbush Mechanical in 2011 through its purchase of GreenStar Services, a move that expanded its MEP capabilities nationwide. Along with Nagelbush, GreenStar included:

  • Five Star Electric (New York)
  • WDF (New York)

The latest contract wins reflect strong momentum across the Tutor Perini group. Recent notable subsidiary awards include:

  • $60.2 million dam modernization project in Rothschild, Wisconsin by Lunda Construction
  • $220 million construction effort for the Eagle Mountain Casino Phase 2 expansion in Porterville, California by Tutor Perini Building Corp.
  • $960 million contract for the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital replacement in Oakland, California by Rudolph and Sletten

Why It Matters

  • South Florida’s skyline continues to rise, driven by luxury demand, population growth and global capital.
  • Mechanical and plumbing systems represent a significant portion of vertical construction costs on supertall and high-density residential towers.
  • The increased backlog supports Tutor Perini’s financial visibility heading into 2026.
