Big news out of Birmingham! Brasfield & Gorrie, the general contractor powerhouse, just celebrated a major expansion to their headquarters right here in the Lakeview District. This isn't just any addition; we're talking a brand-spankin' new three-story, 28,500-square-foot space!

Investing in Birmingham

That's right, folks! This $18.9 million investment shows Brasfield & Gorrie's serious commitment to our city and has already brought 64 new jobs to Birmingham! The expansion, announced earlier this year, is a game-changer.

Hometown Pride

"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. It's awesome to see a company so dedicated to its roots!

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Brasfield & Gorrie also noted that support from the City of Birmingham, Jefferson County, and the state of Alabama was key to making this expansion a reality. Looks like everyone's invested in seeing Birmingham thrive! They are already ahead of schedule to bring 85 headquarters jobs within five years, with 75% of those roles already filled.

Boomtown Birmingham

Ellen McNair, Secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce, chimed in, saying, “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.”

What's Next?

This expansion supports the company's long-term strategic plan and helps support their 1,400 employees. Pylon Building Group, Brasfield & Gorrie’s subsidiary, led the project's construction. Recent projects in Alabama include Southern Research’s biotech center and campus renovations, work at UAB, Protective Stadium, Airbus facilities, and more. They've even opened a new Field Training Center to help employees level up!

Birmingham is booming, y'all!
