Skanska USA's building business unit, a leading provider of construction management, preconstruction and design-build services, announced today that it has opened a new office in Dallas.
Skanska has overseen more than $150 million in commercial construction in the Metroplex over the past five years with projects in Dallas, Plano, McKinney, Ennis and Las Colinas. The company’s latest area project is a 31,000-square-foot data center in Fort Worth that is expected to complete this month.
“By establishing a presence in Dallas, we expand our overall reach to include another critical population center in Texas that complements our existing offices in Houston, San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley” said Brian Freeman, executive vice president of Skanska’s Texas operations.
