Small, local trade partners play an outsized role in shaping Tampa Bay’s skyline. Investing in their success isn’t just good for individual businesses. It helps deliver stronger projects and builds a more resilient regional economy.

In this Tampa Bay Business Journal byline, Corey Smith, Vice President of Preconstruction at Suffolk, shares why supporting trade partners with business training, mentorship and stronger industry relationships is an operational strategy with real impact.

“When local trade partners grow stronger, the entire Tampa Bay economy benefits through job creation, business growth and increased economic mobility.”

The challenge with geothermal energy isn’t about the resource itself. It comes down to access: high drilling costs and complex installations keep this reliable source of clean energy from reaching its full potential. Dig Energy is a startup working to change that perception with a compact rig that reduces the cost of drilling by 80 percent. Dulcie Madden and her team just needed a place to test it out.

That's where 100MAG, Suffolk's new hub for innovation, came in. We want this building to be a living laboratory for industry breakthroughs — both during construction and once the doors open later this month. Hear Dulcie and the team from Suffolk Design and Suffolk Technologies talk about the 100MAG and Dig Energy pilot, which has significant impacts on our entire industry.

Our President, Chief Administrative, Brand & Culture Officer Katy O'Neil loves a good sports analogy. Here, she's applying it to how we equip our rising leaders as culture carriers in the midst of major growth. We want these leaders to feel confident in Suffolk’s processes and systems. Because at the end of the day, we can't scale excellence by asking great people to try harder. We have to scale it by building people and systems that compound.

Katy goes into more detail about shooters vs. point guards and the programs that we've created to help lay the foundation for effective leadership in this article: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/building-culture-scale-part-2-from-shooter-point-guard-katy-o-neil-7un9c

Suffolk’s National Aviation Center of Excellence recently brought aviation leaders from across the country together at Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) for a two-day Jobsite of the Future & AI Summit.

Led by President of National Transportation Sam Sleiman, the summit brought together our National Aviation, Suffolk Design, AI, Technology, and Operational Excellence teams to explore how innovation is shaping aviation construction. Sessions covered AI and the Jobsite of the Future, Operational Excellence, Suffolk Design’s role in aviation, and our national aviation strategy, followed by an inside look at Suffolk's RSW project and a jobsite tour.

The summit provided an opportunity to showcase the incredible work happening at RSW while bringing leaders from across Suffolk together to share ideas and explore how AI and emerging technologies can improve the way we plan, manage, and deliver aviation projects.

Imagine exploring thousands of design options in the time it once took to develop one. AI is beginning to make that possible.

In our recent study with the MIT Center for Real Estate and City Science - MIT Media Lab, design automation was identified as one of six pillars where AI has the greatest near-term potential to create measurable value.

AI-enabled design tools can help architects, engineers and contractors evaluate options across cost, code compliance, energy performance, structural efficiency, schedule and aesthetics. The result: earlier clarity, fewer downstream surprises and more informed decisions.

Suffolk Las Vegas has reached the midway point on the Durango Casino & Resort’s north expansion with a major feat of engineering: lifting the largest piece of structural steel on the project into place.

Weighing approximately 180,000 pounds and spanning nearly 140 feet long and 20 feet tall, the massive steel truss required a 650,000-pound crane and a second helper crane for support during the lift.

The $385 million expansion will add more than 275,000 square feet to the property, creating space for an expanded casino floor, bowling facility, luxury movie theaters, and new dining and entertainment venues. Thank you to our client, Station Casinos, and our trade partners for their collaboration and commitment as we continue bringing this expansion to life.

Suffolk Southeast recently marked the latest milestone at our luxury hotel project in Miami Beach: placing the final concrete slab to top out the residential portion of the project.

We celebrated this achievement with our dedicated trade partners in true South Florida style, with a catered lunch, raffle and a dunk tank for trade partners to drench their favorite Suffolk builders. Topping out ceremonies always provide a unique opportunity to reflect on how far we've come and celebrate the team we're grateful to have at our sides for the work ahead. Special thanks to ASF Construction & Excavation Corp, Sprinklermatic, AKO Plumbing, Hays Electrical Services, and TRV South for helping make this project a reality.

There's more to come from Miami, so stay tuned for news of the next milestone at this unique build.

Earlier this month, our team in the U.S. Virgin Islands joined our partners at the official groundbreaking for the redevelopment of Lockhart K-8 School in St. Thomas.

Suffolk, in partnership with our joint venture partner CBNA, is rebuilding six educational facilities on St. Thomas as part of the USVI School Bundle and Rebuild USVI initiative. At Lockhart, the expanded campus will serve students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, with new middle school learning suites and outdoor learning environments.

Speaking on behalf of our team, Suffolk President Jeffrey Gouveia shared what this project represents: a lasting investment in the students, families and community of St. Thomas. Thank you to CBNA, the Government of the Virgin Islands, the Virgin Islands Office of Disaster Recovery, and Virgin Islands Department of Education for their partnership and trust in our team to deliver a safe, resilient school that will serve students for generations. We look forward to the work ahead!
