Boston-based construction company Suffolk has opened an office in Herndon, Virginia, citing strong data center plans in the area.
The office will focus on mission-critical businesses and will be led by Charles McCarthy, Suffolk's national chief operating officer for mission critical, the company announced Tuesday.
This is Suffolk's first office in the Washington, D.C., area, with 11 locations including New York, Miami, Los Angeles and Dallas.
“Suffolk is known for its extensive experience managing complex, sophisticated data center and government projects nationwide, with Virginia serving as a significant hub for its development activity,” McCarthy said in a statement.
The new office is located at KBS Realty Advisors' Dulles Station East I (2303 Dulles Station Blvd), just a short drive from Dulles International Airport and Loudoun County's Data Center Alley.
According to the announcement, Suffolk's Mission Critical Center of Excellence team has delivered more than 50 data center campuses totaling more than 3 gigawatts across 30 states, working across every major sector, including healthcare, life sciences, education, gaming, transportation, aviation, federal and public utilities, mission critical and commercial, the company said.
Suffolk's projects include TSA checkpoint upgrades at Tampa International Airport, a 221-unit affordable housing development in San Francisco, a 308-unit mixed-use apartment building in Miami and a 46-story mixed-use apartment building in downtown St. Petersburg that will be the tallest residential building on Florida's West Coast.
The company was also the general contractor for a new 635,000-square-foot research building that opened in Boston's Seaport late last month.
