The Municipal Art Society of New York named three DDC projects as recipients of the MASterworks Design Awards, including the prestigious honor “Best New Building” for the new Shirley Chisholm Recreation Center in Brooklyn.

Five projects are proceeding in the agency’s new Construction Manager-Build (CM-Build) pilot program, taking advantage of a legislative victory in Albany that allows DDC to use the faster and more efficient method of construction for projects at libraries and cultural institutions.

DDC issued Requests for Qualifications for Architectural Design, Technical Design, and Engineering Design services requirements contracts on July 31, 2025. Review the RFQs for detailed instructions on the procurement timeline and process and monitor PASSPort for any posted updates.

Effective December 30, 2024, all bids and proposals for construction projects must include a copy of the bidder or proposer’s certificate of registration with the New York State Department of Labor (DOL). This requirement stems from Section 220-i of the Labor Law. Information on the DOL registration process and the portal to register can be found on the DOL's Contractor and Subcontractor website. 

DDC’s work is in every neighborhood in NYC.

To help us complete projects on time and on budget, we are looking for strong partners in the design and construction community.

Let’s plan, design, build and grow together.
