This move reinforces our commitment to fostering an environment where business can scale, compete, and succeed for the long term.”Forge Construction transformed an outdated 10,000-square-foot, two-story building in the heart of Kansas City’s creative corridor into a headquarters designed to support the company’s evolving culture and collaborative approach. The relocation marks a significant milestone for the Missouri firm, reflecting both its expansion and long-term commitment to Kansas City.“This project was completed during a time of tremendous growth for Forge Construction, but it was also a season of discovery,” said Eric Turner, President of Forge Construction. “As we expanded, we worked to define our guiding principles, clarify our purpose, and align around a vision for the future. This headquarters represents more than a new space—it reflects who we are, what we value, and how we want to work together as we continue building for Kansas City and beyond.”Forge Construction is a Missouri-made company rooted in old-fashioned values, dedication to its community, and commitment to quality and service. New jobs added as part of Forge Construction’s expansion will pay an average wage well above the county average. “We’re proud that Forge Construction has chosen to expand its operations and deepen its roots in Missouri,” said Michelle Hataway, Director of the Department of Economic Development. “This investment and added jobs are strong votes of confidence in Kansas City’s skilled workforce and our state’s pro-growth business climate. This expansion will help create new opportunities for Missourians to prosper.” The new headquarters project involved a full interior demolition and complete renovation, transforming the building into a warm, modern headquarters that reflects Forge Construction’s identity and values. Exposed structural elements, natural materials, and clean lines create an open, transparent environment designed to foster collaboration.For this expansion, Forge Construction will benefit from the Missouri Works program, a tool that helps companies expand and retain workers by providing access to capital through withholdings or tax credits for job creation. What others are saying "Kansas City is proud to support companies that choose to build their future here, and when local companies grow, Kansas City grows with them,” said Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas. “Forge Construction's new headquarters reflects the talent, entrepreneurial spirit, and commitment to our community that continues to strengthen our regional economy and create good jobs for our residents." “Investments like this demonstrate the continued confidence companies have in Kansas City’s future,” said Kansas City 4th District Councilmember Crispin Rea. “Forge Construction’s expansion reflects the strength of our local business community and the opportunities being created for workers and families across our city.”“It was a pleasure supporting Forge Construction in their decision to stay and expand in Kansas City,” said Nathan Vanice, Business Development Officer at the Economic Development Corporation of Kansas City (EDCKC). “This expansion not only strengthens our local construction industry but also creates quality jobs and reinforces the value of investing in Kansas City. We’re excited to see Forge continue to grow and deepen its impact in the community.”About Forge ConstructionForge Construction is a commercial general contractor based in Kansas City, known for delivering high-quality projects across multiple vertical markets, including healthcare, behavioral health, light industrial/manufacturing, and nonprofit/philanthropic, among others.
