Here are my Golden Brick Awards to celebrate the best and worst of the decade’s developments, developers and politicians.

New Yorkers’ sense of history and spirit of adventure is exemplified by our ever-changing and uplifting skyline, which has leaped over the last decade, from a typical 600 feet high to a group that tops 1,500 feet. Among those is the Freedom Tower, which shines on to tell the world we will survive.

DEVELOPER OF THE DECADE: No question that Larry Silverstein dug in, stood up to naysayers, and rebuilt much of the World Trade Center area destroyed by 9/11. He is now keen to complete the two last towers.

‘MALLSOLEUM’: The Santiago Calatrava-designed Oculus at the World Trade Center may not be the best design for shopping or traipsing to the trains, but it sure makes for a nice selfie — and those wings! But as the performing arts center rises and as The Post’s Steve Cuozzo warned, Calatrava’s elegant but costly design stalled the rebuilding of St. Nicholas Church, which luckily, just got a jumpstart from Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

PLACE MAKING: Brookfield’s magnificent renovation of the former WTC has created an urban center that makes working, shopping and eating a delight, with a view of the Hudson River.

NEW WEST ORDER: Related’s Stephen Ross and his Hudson Yards towers and stores plus the Shed and global Instagram star the Vessel — along with the adjacent High Line walkway to the Meatpacking District — have invigorated the West Side.

BROOKLYN BEEFCAKE: From the Coney Island Boardwalk and the Muss’ Oceana, to the transformation of Downtown Brooklyn, Dumboland, its waterfront parks and Industry City, Kings County stepped up to a new age topped by Two Trees Domino Sugar.

QUEEN DESPITE AMAZON: From the Rockrose-TF Cornerstone towers in Long Island City to Queens Plaza and the new LaGuardia terminals, the borough has been steadfast in its growth while becoming a warehouse powerhouse and the ditched Amazon area has Plaxall Place yet to come.

LEASING LADY: Mary Ann Tighe of CBRE inked it out of the park with 101.6 million square feet of commercial transactions, anchoring 14.4 million square feet of new construction. She was also the first woman to be honored by the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation at its dinner, but she-who-should-be-mayor declines to run.

SALES FORCE: As economic woes gave way to a roaring market, NYC trades grew from $11.6 billion in 2010 to $59.9 billion in 2015 — and will end the decade at roughly $34.2 billion.

QUEEN OF THE SKYSCRAPERS: The Chrysler Building sale in 2019 was among the latest for CBRE’s Darcy Stacom’s long list of landmark tower transactions.

KING OF THE SKYSCRAPERS: Broker Douglas Harmon of Cushman & Wakefield oversaw a record $100 billion in tower trades just in the last decade.

FROM KING OF B’s TO REIT WITH THE MOSTEST: SL Green now has 93 Manhattan buildings with 45 million square feet, becoming the largest owner in the city while also elbowing its way into stakes through loans to own — and topping the decade with the construction of One Vanderbilt, the tallest and prettiest tower on the skyline.

CO-WORK CROWN: Despite this last rocky year, failed IPO and ditching of its CEO, WeWork’s Big Apple portfolio grew from its 2010 founding in Soho to cover 7.8 million square feet, creating an entire industry and becoming the city’s largest tenant with failure not an option.

DESIGN JOY: The BIG-designed Durst Organization rental, Via 57, which resembles a sail on the Hudson River and includes a courtyard and plenty of balconies, gets a Golden Brick.

INT’L BROUHAHA: Norman Sturner was forced to sell 850 Third Ave. after feds decided his Chinese partner shouldn’t own the building as it might spy on the police-precinct tenant that handles some Trump Tower security.

DOT-COM TO FAANG FUN FACTS: Facebook had 11,000 square feet at 340 Madison in 2009, and in 2019, Facebook leased nearly 2 million square feet at Hudson Yards and soon will add another 740,000 square feet at the Farley Building.

In 2014, Amazon leased the 470,000-square-foot 7 W. 34th St. and is still expanding around the West 34th Street’s Amazon Alley.

In 2011, Apple leased 40,000 feet at 100-104 Fifth Ave. and is plotting a grand expansion. Netflix is now leasing both offices and studios.

Google had just one person in New York in 2000, but by 2010, bought 111 Eighth Ave. for $1.77 billion and in 2019, spent another $3 billion to $4 billion to buy and lease an additional 2 million square feet and will soon double its workforce to nearly 15,000 in Chelsea and Hudson Square.

SILVER MICKEY EARS: Disney/ABC wins for putting the boom and bloom back in Times Square with its theater. It’s soon to swap local headquarters from Lincoln Square to Hudson Square while allowing its uptown buyer, Silverstein, to develop its new office building.

BUST TO BOOM: Harry Macklowe boomed into 2007, lost it all by 2010, and spent this last decade rebuilding his portfolio starting with the tallest residential tower at 432 Park Ave. and the historic renovation of One Wall St., while planning a 1,500-foot-high Midtown tower if Venezuela would get out of the way.

SPOT ON: Target deserves praise for serving neighborhoods and locations like Times Square and Herald Square that are as much for tourists as for residents.

A MALL IS A MALL: From the failed Xanadu proposal to an American Dream, in reality, the new New Jersey spot will give area attractions a run for their cash.

PEOPLE’S SQUARE: It may screw up traffic, but cheers to the people taking over Times Square, where extended hours for retailers have them doing the best sales in the city.

SLEEP OVER: Ian Schrager wins for reinventing upscale hotels and Sam Chang for building them everywhere.

TAPPAN ZEE FOREVER: Sure, the derelict Tappan Zee Bridge was replaced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, but he is keeping the price and future toll costs hidden. And while New Jersey lights the I-287/I-87 intersection to the bridge, drivers entering the New York side are plunged into darkness.

LEGISLATION LOSERS: The award goes to overzealous legislators — Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and state Sen. Michael Gianaris, to name just a couple — who are piling on regulations without considering the full consequences while also taxing and spending.

VISIBLE AND CAREFUL: With more pedestrians on the sidewalks, less street for vehicles and more for bicycles, it’s time to curb yourself. Don’t jaywalk, look every which way before crossing a street, and both bikers and walkers should wear something reflective and visible at night. Drivers need to slow down, look out side windows and around mullions while turning, buff the film off their zero vision headlights, and to ensure your rear lights go on, turn headlights onto full.
