B&I Contractors breaks ground on $28M Fort Myers HQ

B&I Contractors is breaking ground on a nearly 94,440-square-foot expansion and renovation of its Fort Myers headquarters. The project off Canal Street on a 30-acre site zoned for heavy industrial construction will more than double the size of the company’s campus. The current two-building, 50,517-square-foot campus will expand to four buildings totaling 131,517 square feet. The $28 million project is expected to be completed in 2027, said Jason Grabowski, who became CEO in January 2023. The expansion also will help B&I grow its workforce, which currently ranges from 1,200 to 1,400 employees. Grabowski expects to add at least 100 more positions once construction is complete. B&I also operates offices in Fort Lauderdale, Sarasota and Tampa. Read the full story and see the video at Gulfshore Business.
