January 2024 Group Watch: Brasfield & Gorrie Investing in/Growing in Birmingham
Brasfield & Gorrie, one of the nation’s largest privately held construction firms, will invest $18.9 million to expand its national headquarters in Birmingham, choosing to grow in its hometown over other major markets where it operates. The expansion project adds a 28,500-square-foot, three-story building on its campus on the southside of Birmingham. The company provides general contracting, design-build, and construction management services for a wide variety of markets including healthcare, commercial, science and technology, institutional, federal, municipal, industrial, mission critical/data centers, infrastructure, and water/wastewater treatment. The company has been based at its current location since its founding in 1964, and the headquarters now houses more than 550 employees. It has offices in 12 other cities, including Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, Charlottee, Nashville and Orlando, with total employees exceeding 3,700. The Birmingham project’s job creation will take place over five years, and the positions will pay an average annual salary of $74,000.
