Birmingham-based contractor Brasfield & Gorrie has opened a three-story, 28,500-square-foot expansion next to its existing headquarters in the Lakeview District.
“I’m energized by the company’s growth, and we’re collectively committed to Birmingham, where we’ve been based since our beginning in 1964,” said CEO Rob Blalock. “We’re invested in the communities that support our 13 offices across eight states, and it’s important to us to continue to show that commitment in our hometown.”
The company says the $18.9 million addition will help the contractor with its commitment to add 85 headquarters jobs within five years.
“Brasfield & Gorrie’s continued growth in Birmingham is a great example of how Alabama-based companies can lead nationally while staying deeply rooted in their hometowns,” said Ellen McNair, secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce. “This expansion not only reflects the company’s long-term vision and investment in its people — it also strengthens Birmingham’s position as a hub for talent, innovation and opportunity in the construction industry.”
Pylon Building Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of Brasfield & Gorrie, led the new construction.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to work on this important project for Brasfield & Gorrie,” said Pylon President Reggie Torbor. “As we continue to grow and move toward establishing ourselves as an independent company, our team is honing our skills. Building on an active campus for a knowledgeable client has been an invaluable experience, and we’re excited about the path ahead for our company.”
