Clark Construction
Clark Construction, also referred to as Clark Construction Group, LLC, is a construction firm headquartered in McLean, Virginia,[1] and founded in 1906. The company had 2018 annual revenue of more than $5 billion,[2] and is one of the largest commercial and civil contractors in the country.[2] Some projects include Capital One Arena[3] and L'Enfant Plaza.[2] HistoryThe company traces its founding to the George Hyman Construction Company, an excavating company, in 1906. Business boomed, as it initially had the only steam shovel in Washington.[4] The company began doing construction work in 1923; its first such contract was with Wheatley Junior High School. The company was involved in numerous military construction projects during World War II.[5] Hyman died in 1970 and was succeeded by his nephew Benjamin Rome.[5] In 1969, A. James Clark bought the company from the Hyman family[6] and oversaw major growth including one of its earliest projects L'Enfant Plaza in Washington. Clark formed a separate company in 1977 for non-union projects in the Washington area (Hyman legally could not bid on such projects).[6] In 1995, Clark merged construction companies of Hyman, Shirley Contracting Company, Guy F. Atkinson Construction and OMNI to form Clark Construction.[5] In 2016, a year after Clark died, firm management bought the company from its parent Clark Enterprises, leaving the parent to concentrate on its private equity, financial and real estate markets.[6] Subsidiaries
