Construction Co. Commits to Commercial Market

LOS ANGELES—Allen Construction launches a new commercial construction division to strategically expand after several local construction companies shuttered.

LOS ANGELES—Allen Construction has launched a new commercial division to take advantage of the growing commercial market. The construction company is a seasoned residential builder, and has executed several commercial projects, especially those that are green or LEED certified, although it hadn’t had a dedicated commercial division.

“Over the years, Allen Construction has built commercial projects as a part of our portfolio, however it was rare and typically projects with a strong green  component,” Karen Feeney, community relations manager, tells GlobeSt.com. “With the launch of our new division, Allen is making a significant commitment to the commercial building market. A couple of key factors have contributed to this action. First, a couple of big players in the Santa Barbara market closed their doors. This allowed us to pick up some people with strong track records and significant experience in commercial construction. Second, our move is also strategic. It allows us to diversify what we have to offer clients and will make our company stronger over the long term.”
