1. The Resort-Casino: 61-story, 4,000-room hotel tower
designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects (New Haven, CT)
with approximately 300,000 square feet of meeting and
convention space
A New Meaning to “Perini Green”
In the past, the expression “Perini Green”
referred to the color of our logo. Today, it
appropriately reflects our growing portfolio
of “green” buildings certified by the U.S.
Green Building Council.
3. Veer Towers: Two 37-story glass towers, each with
approximately 337 condominium residences designed
by Helmut Jahn (Chicago)
In addition to the massive construction effort, MGM MIRAGE
is expecting CityCenter to receive Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) NC Certification for “new construction” and a CS Certification for the “core and shell” of
the retail area. Gensler, the executive architect, is a leading
innovator in “green” design. For its part, Perini has assembled a team of LEED Accredited Professionals responsible to
track all pertinent project documents and submittals and to
familiarize subcontractors in LEED practices and procedures.
4. The Harmon Hotel, Spa & Residences: 400-room hotel
with approximately 200 condominium residences designed
by Foster and Partners (London)
Upon receiving its LEED certification, CityCenter will be
recognized as the largest “green” building project in
U.S. history.

Perini Building Company, Inc.
Perini Building Company continued to build upon its position as the nation’s top builder of hospitality and
gaming projects throughout 2006. The majority of our backlog at year-end consisted of contracts from repeat
clients such as MGM MIRAGE, Gaylord Entertainment and Station Casinos, who share our philosophy that
buildings are built through teamwork and that relationships are built on trust.
To achieve the levels of safety, quality and performance that we require on our projects, we put subcontractors
through a rigorous prequalification process, requiring three years of financial records and six trade references.
Our Diversity Development Program is committed to recruiting and mentoring qualified MBE/WBE/DBE
businesses nationwide, engaging their services and encouraging our major subcontractors and partners to
do the same.

Overhead Coverage Systems
Various Locations, Iraq
In September 2005, we were awarded Task
Order contracts in multiple locations in Iraq
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to design
and construct overhead coverage systems
to protect U.S. military bases against attack.
The structures are being built over high-density
gathering facilities such as dining halls, gymnasiums and PXs. Twenty-five of these structures
were completed in 2006. Perini has also
been selected to construct overhead coverage
systems to protect U.S. Department of State
personnel in select locations. The program has
been recently expanded with three additional
Task Orders.

facility or “hush house,” requiring the demolition of
out-of-spec concrete work put in place by the previous
contractor and reconstruction of the original design.
The acoustical enclosure houses a 90-foot elliptical

testing and maintenance of military aircraft and engines.
The facility can accommodate jet aircraft and significantly
reduces residual noise levels.

Under Task Orders awarded through Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contracts to provide

Command, or CENTCOM, Area of Operations, we completed two brigade facilities for the use
of the Afghan National Army. At Mazar-e-Sharif, the last of four regional command facility projects
built by the Company in Afghanistan, Perini installed all utilities (e.g., water, sewer and 6 MW
power plant) and built over 90 structures — barracks, administrative buildings, warehouses,
maintenance facilities (shown) and a helipad.
C4 Project
LSA Anaconda, Iraq
In support of the U.S. Army’s Kuwait Iraq C4

a state-of-the-art information infrastructure
in support of CENTCOM operations.
Electrical Transmission and Distribution
Various Locations, Iraq
As part of the Electrical Transmission and

Civil Construction Operations
Perini Civil Construction
Large urban infrastructure projects such as the repair, replacement and construction of bridges, highways,
mass transit systems, water, sewer and waste treatment facilities continue to be the focus of Perini’s civil
construction operations. Since the Company’s founding in 1894, we have had an affinity for innovation.
Each project brings a greater wealth of knowledge to our operations, translating into enhanced productivity
and quality control. For example, replacing the road decking on the Triborough Bridge several years ago
positioned us to successfully bid and build similar projects on the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge (awarded in
2003) and the Tappan Zee Bridge, awarded to us in August 2006. Our experience with prefabricated steel
orthotropic decking is well-suited to the Federal Highway Administration’s Accelerated Construction
Technology Transfer initiative, a process determined to lower costs, increase quality, speed construction,
enhance safety and mitigate traffic impacts.

Over the past five years, approximately half of our project backlog was from federal, state and local governmental agencies. Regional Departments of Transportation (e.g., Maryland, Virginia, and Florida) historically
have been the Company’s largest customers, accounting for about one-third of annual revenues. In 2006,
project completions included the Masonville Marine Terminal (Phase II) for Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC,
