Louisville-based construction firm Calhoun Construction Services is opening a new office location in Lexington, Kentucky, as its workload continues to increase in the area.

The more than 6,600-square-foot office is under construction at 1708 Jaggie Fox Way, and it’s anticipated to open in May 2023, according to a news release.

Valerie Moore, senior lead estimator, and Justin Stephens, project manager, are longtime Lexington residents with decades of experience working in health care, sports, and higher education. The release said their experience and dedication to the Lexington area will benefit clients looking for “depth and breadth of expertise” in the construction industry.

“We have been looking for the right location for quite some time now. Lexington is not slowing down anytime soon. We know that being local is imperative to providing the highest level of service, and we couldn’t be more excited to continue our existing relationships and grow new ones,” said John Hinshaw, president of Calhoun Construction, in the release.

Calhoun currently offers the following services: Pre-construction, construction management, facility maintenance, trade contracting, self-perform work and design-build.

The firm, which marked its 10-year anniversary in 2022, had over $200 million in revenue last year. It plans to continue its growth trajectory sustainably by being selective with projects and clients, the release continued.

“I have been looking forward to this day for a long time,” said Stephens. “I have always loved Lexington and I know there is tremendous potential for growth.”

Calhoun plans to host an open house for its new location once they are settled.

The firm is among the largest in Louisville with $100 million in work billed out of its local office in 2021. At the time, it had 100 employees in Louisville, according to Louisville Business First research.
