One of the largest general contractors and construction managers in the United States, Hensel Phelps Construction is about midway through a $350 million expansion project at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas.

The mammoth project, that broke ground in 2015, is targeting completion in 2019. Hensel Phelps is handling the construction portion of the project that amounts to roughly $276 million. The project’s highlights include new contact gates, an expanded airfield for jet parking, apron pavement expansions and more concession space for shops and restaurants.

“I think it’s going to be a great project for the city of Austin,” Project Manager Joe Sanders says. “It’s a great design that builds on the city’s character.” The expansion is expected to boost Austin-Bergstrom’s capacity by 27 to 30 percent.

McCormick Construction – Talaria at Burbank

McCormick Construction will bring more housing to Burbank, Calif., next year with the completion of Talaria at Burbank.

By Janice Hoppe-Spiers

McCormick Construction is the general contractor for the development of Talaria at Burbank, a premium residential rental community located in the heart of Burbank, Calif. “It is right in the middle of the Media District so since much of the workforce commutes into Burbank, it has gotten a lot of visibility and interest,” President and CEO Mike McCormick says.

Set to open in the first quarter 2018, McCormick Construction says Talaria at Burbank’s future residents will likely consist of people who currently commute into Burbank for work. The Burbank Studios, iHeart Media and Warner Bros. Studios are all a stone’s throw from Talaria at Burbank. The community is also a short distance from The Walt Disney Co. and Universal Studios.

McCormick Construction is a Burbank-based construction and consulting company with more than 100 years of experience in the industry. “We were founded in 1914 and my brother, Steve, and I are the fourth-generation to run the business,” McCormick says. “I think the biggest differentiator for us is that we are a high-touch builder. It’s all about the client relationship and responsiveness.”

William A. Randolph Inc. is a National Commercial builder with 60 years in Business. Randolph has developed the expertise to build projects such as the Hyatt Place in Royal Oak, Mich., using leading edge construction methods that meet its customer’s requirements. The company’s experience helped it determine that the best approach for these buildings was panelized construction.

“We believe it’s more cost effective than a precast structure and masonry and hollow core plank,” Project Manager Peter Farquhar says. “It’s the optimal structure that provides quality and economics for this type of building product... and have become leaders in this field.”

Boston has a new neighborhood on the horizon. Poised on the Mass Pike and easily accessible from anywhere in the city, the mixed-use 15-acre development will soon be the new home of an apartment complex and a variety of commercial businesses, sports venues and a hotel.

Welcome to Boston Landing. It’s already the new home of the Boston Bruins hockey team and the Boston Celtics basketball team’s practice facility will follow soon. The mammoth development, which has been baptized as the revitalization of Boston’s Brighton neighborhood, is the brainchild of New Balance Chairman Jim Davis.
