History

edit

Suffolk Construction Company was founded in 1982, by Edward Fish Sr. as an open-shop building contractor.[12] Immediately thereafter, Fish seeded Suffolk with an $80,000 loan and transferred full leadership and management to his 23-year-old son, John F. Fish, who has led the company as president and CEO since its founding.[13]

By 1987, the company had grown its annual revenues from $300 thousand to $66 million.[14] In 1989, the company expanded its operations to South Florida.[12]

Suffolk reached an agreement with Boston's carpentry union in 1993, in which it agreed to use union workers in downtown Boston, but would remain non-union in other areas.[12] In 1999, Suffolk reached a larger deal with the carpentry union in which it agreed to use union workers throughout the New England area.[15]

In 2009, Suffolk acquired William A. Berry & Son, a large New England contractor that specialized in biomedical and healthcare construction.[9] Suffolk acquired the San Diego–based ROEL Construction in January 2011 in an effort to expand its growth in California.[16][17]

In January 2016, the company was selected as general contractor for the $1.7 billion Wynn Resorts casino in Everett, Massachusetts.[18] In September 2016, the company held a ceremony in which they used virtual reality technology to "break ground" on their new headquarters project.[19] Suffolk was chosen as the general contractor for the General Electric's Boston headquarters building in December 2016.[20]
