2023 Women in Construction: Nadine Loggia, Hylan Datacom & Electrical Division
Expeditor
Hylan Datacom & Electrical Division
In the past year, what project or accomplishment are you most proud of? Across all of its divisions, Hylan’s business continues to grow and I am extremely proud of my ability to rethink the way I do things to accommodate the growth.

What is your favorite building in New York? My favorite building in New York is the Freedom Tower. The Freedom Tower is a beautiful building standing 1,776 feet tall, a measurement that corresponds to the year the Declaration of Independence was signed. For me, the Freedom Tower represents resilience, strength and the ability to move forward even after a terrible tragedy.
