Graycor Construction expands with opening of Burlington office

Burlington, MA Graycor Construction Company is opening a new office in the city, to provide construction services for projects throughout the Northeast. The new office is located at The District Burlington, 1500 District Ave. Graycor also maintains offices in Chicago; San Jose, Calif.; Bakersfield, Calif.; Charlotte, N.C.; Phoenix; and Atlanta.

The new office provides a base of operations to support Graycor’s existing and growing pipeline of retail and entertainment projects where the company is engaged in excess of $60 million worth of pre-construction and construction activity in the Northeast in this past year. Boston area projects include Wrentham Village Premium Outlets, ArcLight Boston and Burlington Mall.

“Graycor’s strategic expansion into Boston is aligned with our clients’ ongoing investments in their shopping center properties in the Northeast region, particularly the Boston metropolitan area is looking to shopping center owners and theatre operators to bring exceptional experiences in the retail and entertainment environment to their communities,” said Tim Hanifin, vice president and general manager of Graycor, who will also be managing the new office.

When redeveloping shopping centers, maintaining safety, accessibility and profitability during construction becomes a priority for retail REITs. Graycor’s Live Environment work methodology is being applied at several renovation projects in the area.
