BOSTON (March 20, 2025) —  Shawmut Design and Construction, a $2 billion national construction management firm, has reached a major milestone in New England, surpassing $1 billion in revenue in 2024 — driven by larger, more complex projects and strong partnerships with long-standing and new clients. In response to this growth, Shawmut has strategically expanded its regional leadership team to ensure continued excellence in execution and client service.

Recent major projects include the opening of UMass Chan Medical School's $350 million new education and research building in Worcester; the start of construction on Boston University's $550 million renovation of Warren Towers; continued progress on FM's new R&D campus in Norwood; and Harvard University's redevelopment of 175 North Harvard Street, which includes new affiliate housing at 100 South Campus Drive and the future new home of the American Repertory Theater. Additionally, Shawmut expanded its regional footprint with a new Worcester office, reinforcing its commitment to central Massachusetts.

To support this momentum and maintain its high standards of execution, Shawmut has made key appointments to its regional leadership team:
