Restoration of the Old Courthouse and concurrent downtown renovations showcase the firm's recent projects and regional activity.
St. Louis, Missouri, September 11, 2025
A St. Louis contractor has promoted a longtime staff member to senior project manager as the firm highlights recent high-profile work and positions itself for large regional projects. The promoted manager, with more than 20 years of experience, leads campus work at a major university and the $46 million core-and-shell renovation of the former Post-Dispatch building. The firm recently finished a $27.2 million restoration of the Old Courthouse and is delivering a design-build water treatment replacement in joint venture. Leadership says a pipeline of airport, aerospace, water and health care projects will sustain activity despite material, lead-time and financing headwinds.
The St. Louis–based general contractor updated its project leadership while pointing to a slate of large local and regional projects, including a $46 million core-and-shell renovation of the former St. Louis Post‑Dispatch building and a multi‑year restoration of the city’s Old Courthouse. The firm also highlighted involvement in major infrastructure and industrial work across the region.
The company promoted a veteran team member to senior project manager. The promoted manager joined the firm in 2016 as a project engineer and brings more than two decades of industry experience. Since joining, the manager has worked on multiple projects for a leading local university and on the $46 million core and shell renovation at 900 N. Tucker Blvd. in the Downtown North Insight District.
The promoted manager is active inside the firm on committees focused on process improvement and quality control. The manager holds a Bachelor of Science in construction management and design from Southeast Missouri State University.
The firm completed a two‑year, $27.2 million restoration of the Old Courthouse. The job required navigating abatement challenges and upgrading outdated building systems while preserving historic features. As part of the preservation work, original courtrooms were renovated under a separate $2.7 million effort to maintain the courthouse’s historic fabric.
The firm’s director of strategy described a region with a diversified development pipeline. Key drivers include an airport expansion valued at about $3 billion that consolidates two terminals into one campus with as many as 62 gates, plus onsite parking and roadway work. Other large projects highlighted include a roughly $1.8 billion, 1.1‑million‑square‑foot expansion of an advanced aircraft manufacturing campus to add advanced assembly and post‑assembly operations, and more than $500 million in statewide water and wastewater system investments focused on replacing aging pipes, pumps and tanks and upgrading treatment plants.
The firm is delivering a design‑build replacement of the county’s largest water treatment facility in a joint venture with another regional contractor. Other major health‑care and institutional projects in the pipeline include a 14‑story, 200‑bed pediatric hospital scheduled for completion in 2027, with expanded neonatal and pediatric intensive care units and specialized cancer and cardiology areas.
Contractors in the region continue to manage higher material costs and long lead times for certain electrical and mechanical equipment. Interest rate uncertainty is affecting financing for some projects, creating hurdles that can delay starts and complicate firms’ ability to predict backlog and staffing needs. Despite these headwinds, the region’s mix of transportation, logistics, health care, life sciences, data center work, advanced manufacturing, higher education, energy and multifamily housing projects is expected to sustain demand for design and construction services into 2026 and beyond.
Alongside the senior promotion, the firm recently promoted a senior project accountant and added several accounting and project finance staff, including new project and corporate accountants and an accounts payable specialist. These hires reflect a focus on strengthening project finance and delivery capabilities across diverse work types, from preconstruction and green building to advanced technology applications.
The original page that reported these items included repeated prompts encouraging readers to subscribe to an email list. It also contained job board links, subscription and account interface elements, and standard transactional messages about secure payments and account management.
The firm promoted a team member to the role of senior project manager. The promoted individual joined the company in 2016 and has more than 20 years of construction industry experience.
Recent work includes a $46 million core-and-shell renovation of a former newspaper building in downtown St. Louis and a two‑year, $27.2 million restoration of the Old Courthouse, which included a separate $2.7 million courtroom preservation effort.
Major drivers include a roughly $3 billion airport expansion consolidating two terminals into one with up to 62 gates, a $1.8 billion aircraft manufacturing campus expansion, statewide water and wastewater investments exceeding $500 million, and substantial health‑care facility projects such as a new 14‑story pediatric hospital.
Key challenges are higher material costs, long lead times for specialized equipment, and uncertainty in interest rates that can slow financing and delay project starts.
