Clayco, a full-service, turnkey real estate development, architecture, engineering and construction firm, recently announced the relocation and expansion of its St. Louis offices and operations center.
The company, which currently has multiple offices in Overland, Kansas, and Clayton, Missouri, will move 580 St. Louis-based team members to a renovated facility at 8640 Evans Ave. in Berkeley, Missouri, next year.
The 230,000-square-foot office in NorthPark Development will accommodate space for over 1,000 employees as the company expects to add at least 400 additional team members in the next few years.
While Clayco’s corporate headquarters will remain in Chicago, the Berkeley office will serve as home for many of the company’s design-build construction functions, including operations, business unit leadership, architecture, process engineering, safety, IT, marketing, finance/accounting and talent management.
In addition, Concrete Strategies, Clayco Design & Engineering and Consolidated Distribution Company, all Clayco subsidiaries, will be headquartered in the new office. Other subsidiaries, such as Lamar Johnson Collaborative, CRG and Ventana, will have a meaningful presence in the new Berkeley office.
By centralizing its Missouri offices and committing to significant new job creation, Clayco is demonstrating its long-term commitment to the state and local community. The move signifies the company’s dedication to attracting and retaining top talent in the St. Louis area and building on the positive trajectory for the region. For example, the company’s Construction Career Development Initiative (CCDI) has supported over 150 St. Louis students to discover full-time employment in the trades and provided over $500,000 in scholarships to continue their academic pursuits.
Since its inception in 1984, Clayco has grown into a prominent figure across multiple disciplines as a fully integrated real estate and design-build construction firm. The company’s notable 13 recognitions in Engineering News-Record (ENR) attests to its industry leadership. At over $5 billion, last year’s impressive sales figure sets the stage for even greater accomplishments in 2023 as the company will approach $6 billion in sales. In addition to its Chicago headquarters and notable St. Louis area footprint, the company maintains offices in Phoenix, AZ: Greenville, SC; Culver City, CA — as well as a recently announced office in Birmingham, AL. The company also currently has projects in more than 45 communities and cities across North America.
