JE Dunn Construction, a powerhouse in the construction industry, is marking a significant milestone as it celebrates 40 years of operations in Atlanta, a city where its aviation and industrial projects began. This milestone comes after the company first opened its Atlanta office in 1985, positioning itself as a critical player in the region’s architectural landscape.
Headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, JE Dunn operates a network of 26 offices across the United States. Known for its impressive portfolio, the company ranks No. 18 on ENR’s Top 400 Contractors list. Their Atlanta office has been a significant contributor to some of the city’s most recognizable structures, including:
Leading the charge in Atlanta is Stuart Bruening, who helms the office and guides its ambitious projects that continue to shape the community.
A commitment to social responsibility is integral to JE Dunn’s mission. The company donates a remarkable 10% of its pretax net income to charity and contributes over 10,000 volunteer hours each year to a wide range of organizations. Supported initiatives include the Boy Scouts of America, Boyce L. Ansley School, Habitat for Humanity Atlanta, and the Orange Duffel Bag Initiative. This dedication to community upliftment has been a cornerstone of JE Dunn’s operations.
For five consecutive years, JE Dunn has received accolades as one of the country’s best-managed companies according to recognitions by prestigious entities such as The Wall Street Journal and Deloitte Private. This consistency in excellence resonates throughout its extensive project list, featuring groundbreaking endeavors such as:
In a move to further its capabilities, JE Dunn has spun off its smart building technology solutions into a new company named Aptitude. This transition aims to integrate innovative building technologies earlier in the construction process, indicative of the company’s forward-thinking approach.
Notably, JE Dunn is involved in the construction of a massive $425 million manufacturing facility for Georgia-Pacific’s Dixie brand located in Jackson, Tennessee. Spanning 241 acres, this facility is set to be the largest investment in the city’s history, featuring 900,000 square feet of advanced automation technology. The facility is expected to be operational by summer 2024.
The construction sector is buzzing with various initiatives as well. T&T Construction Management Group, a woman-owned contractor, is stepping into the Tampa market while celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2025 with the theme “Building a Resilient Legacy.”
Furthermore, partnerships are thriving in the industry, such as Gilbane Building Co. and R.J. Leeper Construction breaking ground on the new training facility for the Charlotte Hornets, the Novant Health Performance Center, which will span over 160,000 sq. ft..
Additionally, Robins & Morton has begun a substantial $150 million vertical expansion project at the Huntsville Hospital Madison Street Tower, slated for completion in 2027. This expansion emphasizes the ongoing growth within the healthcare construction sector.
The Croy consulting firm has also made waves, recently receiving two Engineering Excellence Merit Awards for its innovative projects, including the Chattahoochee Technical College Aviation Training Academy and revitalizations in Kennesaw, GA.
In summary, JE Dunn Construction’s contribution to Atlanta over the past four decades highlights not only its successful projects but also its commitment to community engagement and innovation. With ambitious plans on the horizon and continual industry advancements, the future looks promising for this leading contractor.
