2023 Women in Construction: Megan Kukal-Sabourin, J. Calnan & Associates

Megan Kukal-Sabourin
Senior Project Manager 
J. Calnan & Associates

What was your greatest professional achievement or most notable project in the last 12 months?

Without a doubt, the most notable project of my career has been the ground-up development at 245 Fifth Ave. in Waltham, which the team will be delivering later this year for Anchor Line. It will include six floors of lab and office space, three levels of underground parking and 18,000 s/f of amenity space including a co-working lounge, fitness and locker rooms, a library, meditation rooms, a game room and simulator, a food truck hall, and outdoor flex space. Having the opportunity to manage a project out of the ground is thrilling! There is something special about watching your work come to life, from breaking ground, through steel erection and the build out of lab space. I can’t wait to deliver the final project soon and see it fill up with tenants.
