In spring 2022, Holland Construction Services will have a second office location — this time, across the state line at 1000 Macklind Avenue in St. Louis, Mo.

The Swansea, Illinois-based construction firm will be renting the Paraquad property situated across from Forest Park between the St. Louis Science Center and St. Louis Community College. The firm also plans to handle the renovation of the building in-house.

“More than half of our business as a company is in St. Louis and 20 percent of our team members already live here, so this new location will help us better serve our existing clients and build new relationships,” said Holland Construction Services president, Mike Marchal.

Renovations are underway to completely remodel the exterior and interior of the 6,000-SF space which includes a large training room on the lower level. Once complete, 15 employees will be assigned to that location with plans to hire additional project managers, field superintendents, pre-construction managers and project engineers to work from the St. Louis office.

Holland’s work in St. Louis this past year included completion of the new Volpi Foods meat slicing and packaging facility in Union; Missouri American Water’s North Service Center in Berkeley; and The Jewel Apartments in O’Fallon.

Large construction projects currently in progress include several multifamily developments such as The Flats at Dorsett Ridge in Maryland Heights; Mill Creek Flats in Midtown St. Louis; phase two of Sunnen Station Apartments in Maplewood, Moda on The Hill in the historic Hill neighborhood; and Heartland View Apartments in Wentzville.

Other Holland projects currently in progress include a new Nissan car dealership in Herculaneum and site improvements for a new Costco in University City.

At least four additional construction projects in the St. Louis area are slated to begin early next year with projected revenue of over $200 million for 2022, according to a release.
