Brasfield & Gorrie is expanding its Birmingham headquarters with a new $65 million office and training facility that will support the addition of at least 80 full-time employees.
The general contractor has broken ground on a four-story, 88,000-square-foot building in Birmingham’s Lakeview District. The project marks the latest investment in the company’s longtime home and follows the completion of a three-story, 28,500-square-foot headquarters expansion last year.
The new facility will provide additional office and training space as Brasfield & Gorrie continues to grow its workforce. The 80 new positions are expected to have an average salary of $82,000.
“Birmingham has been home to this company for over 60 years, and that’s not something we take lightly,” says Brasfield & Gorrie CEO Rob Blalock. “We’re investing in this city’s future by expanding our workforce, growing our footprint and putting our resources where our roots are.”
Founded in 1964, Brasfield & Gorrie has grown from a local contractor into a national construction company with 13 offices across eight states. The company employs more than 5,000 people companywide, including approximately 1,800 in Alabama.
Its Alabama workforce has expanded significantly in recent years, with the company adding more than 600 jobs in the state during the past five years.
The latest headquarters project is being developed in partnership with the city of Birmingham, Jefferson County and the state of Alabama.
“Brasfield & Gorrie’s decision to continue investing in Birmingham is a strong testament to the confidence companies have in the region and in the talented workforce there,” says Alabama Secretary of Commerce Ellen McNair. “This expansion will create high-quality jobs, strengthen one of Alabama’s homegrown companies and help attract and develop the next generation of talent in our state.”
The new headquarters building is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2028.
