Notable projects include:

  • The $7.5 million (£5.9 million) interior upfit of a two-floor, 31,363-square-foot legal office for a repeat-client in Charlotte, North Carolina. Contract executed in September 2024 with an expected completion in January 2025. 
  • A $3 million (£2.3 million) office upfit for Rosendin Electric’s Charlotte office which builds out 15,000 square feet of office space and a 30,000-square-foot warehouse in Huntersville, North Carolina, completed in November 2024.
  • The $1 million ($795,000) corporate office renovation for Debtbook’s Charlotte headquarters in Charlotte’s Design Center of the Carolinas, completed September 2024.

  • An over $709,000 (£563,000) interior upfit for Flight, a wine bar in Charlotte’s Elizabeth neighbourhood, which features a 2,506-square-foot transformation of a ground floor retail space into a luxury restaurant space, completed April 2024.

Jeff Sandeen, Balfour Beatty President in the Carolinas said: "Being selected to deliver these projects are a testament to Balfour Beatty's expertise and reputation in the special projects market.

"We are grateful to have been involved with projects this year with many first-time clients, in addition to our returning customers, who trust our building capabilities for speciality spaces and value us as a construction partner. We take great pride in being their builder of choice, transforming our clients' visions into exceptional spaces that contribute to the growth and vitality of our rapidly expanding communities."

In addition to the over $36 million (£28.6 million) of special project works in the Carolinas, the company has been conditionally selected for three additional special projects worth nearly $20 million which are expected to be contracted by the first quarter of 2025. The business also has various active projects across both states which include deliveries for clients within the themed attractions, hospitality, manufacturing, retail, dining, healthcare and corporate office sectors.

The company’s Carolinas operations are focused on specific, high growth sectors with population growth and economic development driving increased investment in cities such as Charlotte, Raleigh, Charleston and surrounding communities. The geography’s Buildings operations align with Balfour Beatty’s national business strategy as well as the expansion of its regional growth market which further diversifies the company’s U.S. project portfolio.
