Suffolk Construction at Work on $3.2 Billion in U.S. Projects

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Founded in 1982, Suffolk Construction Company (Boston, Massachusetts) has become a leading a construction contractor in the U.S., branching out from its Boston home to a number of locations throughout the U.S. Industrial Info is tracking more than $3.2 billion in projects involving Suffolk. While the projects cover a range of geographies, many are located in the Boston area.

The majority of Suffolk projects being tracked by Industrial Info are within the Pharmaceutical-Biotech Industry, in which Suffolk has become a leading player. Among Suffolk's top projects is Foundation Medicine Incorporated's (Cambridge, Massachusetts) grassroot advanced genomic diagnostic testing facility in Boston. The project entails constructing a 16-story, 628,000-square-foot facility, most of which will be used by Foundation, to expand genomic/biomarker testing and development as well as house the company's new headquarters. An expansion project that will construct and equip an additional 384,000 square feet at an adjacent site already is underway as well. Suffolk is providing construction management services. The projects are expected to be completed in the coming months.
