Big news, ChumCity! Birmingham's own Brasfield & Gorrie just got bigger and better with a massive expansion of their headquarters in the Lakeview District. We're talking a $18.9 million investment into a brand-new, three-story, 28,500-square-foot space! Founded right here in 1964, Brasfield & Gorrie has been exceeding expectations in construction for decades. This expansion isn't just about square footage; it's a testament to their unwavering commitment to Birmingham. The new headquarters is already making waves. It's responsible for creating 64 new Birmingham jobs, and they're on track to smash their goal of adding 85 HQ positions within five years. Amazing! "I’m energized by the company’s growth, and we’re collectively committed to Birmingham," says CEO Rob Blalock. They're invested in the communities they serve across eight states, and this expansion shows their dedication to their hometown. This expansion was made possible with the help of the City of Birmingham, Jefferson County, and the State of Alabama. Talk about teamwork making the dream work! The construction was spearheaded by Pylon Building Group, Brasfield & Gorrie's subsidiary. Pylon President Reggie Torbor expressed gratitude for the project, noting its importance to Pylon's growth as an independent company. Brasfield & Gorrie now employs roughly 1,400 folks at their Birmingham HQ and over 4,100 nationwide! With $6.4 billion in revenue in 2024, they're sitting pretty as the 22nd largest contractor on Engineering News-Record’s Top 400 list. But wait, there's more! Brasfield & Gorrie isn't just building structures; they're building careers. They recently opened a Field Training Center near Irondale, offering accredited training and certifications to employees. Now that's investing in your people!Brasfield & Gorrie Doubles Down on Birmingham!
