Krismar Construction

Where Vision Breaks Ground – 6.5 million SF and counting.

Our mission is to design and build world-class commercial properties.

Established in 1973 as the in-house general contractor for developer M. David Paul, Krismar Construction Company has grown into a leader in the field and a trusted partner throughout the development process. Krismar works closely with architecture and design partners from the earliest stages to avoid unnecessary delays and to deliver cost-effective, high-performing world-class spaces.

In 1985, Krismar began to expand its services to outside clients in addition to Worthe Real Estate Group. Now, with over 4 million SF of core and shell projects and 2.5 million SF in tenant improvements, Krismar continues to utilize the ‘owner/builder’ approach to bring experience, foresight, and value to every phase of construction.
