Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Although the U.S. Northeast region is expected to see a slight decline in the overall value of project kickoffs in the fourth quarter of 2015, the $5.47 billion in total investment value still shows the influence of the area's prosperous shale plays, particularly the Marcellus and Utica, according to Industrial Info's project database. About 75% of the amount is attributed to three industries: Power, Industrial Manufacturing and Pharmaceutical & Biotech.

The Northeast region includes Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
The Power Industry leads all others with $1.97 billion in projects set to begin construction in the fourth quarter, one of the largest of which is Tenaska Incorporated's (Omaha, Nebraska) $550 million Westmoreland County Generating Station in Smithton, Pennsylvania. The facility is expected to consist of three 185-megawatt (MW), natural-gas fired combustion turbine generators that will drive a 385-MW Steam Turbine Generator, for a total output of about 950 MW. The company received capital approval for the project earlier this year. For details on this construction project, see Industrial Info's project report.
The Industrial Manufacturing Industry is in second place with $1.61 billion in projects set to kick off from October through December, the largest of which is the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority's $450 million construction of a marine cargo-handling terminal. The project, which has faced repeated delays since it was announced in 2010 and still is in the permitting phase, consists of a two-berth marine terminal on 119 acres that will include a marginal wharf, six Post-Panamax container cranes, and a container yard that will have a planned throughput of 1.1 million twenty-foot equivalent units per year at full build-out. For details on this expansion project, see Industrial Info's project report.
The Pharmaceutical & Biotech Industry has $508 million in projects set to begin construction in the fourth quarter, the largest of which is City University of New York's $225 million expansion of a scientific research building in the Bronx. The second of a two-phase project will add 160,000 square feet for the teaching and research of physics, earth science and environmental subjects. Gilbane Building Company (New York, New York) is performing construction management services. For details on this expansion project, see Industrial Info's project report.
The seven other highest-value projects in the region are:
