McCarthy Begins Construction on New 17-Acre Equipment Operations Hub

McCarthy Building Companies has begun construction on a new 17-acre equipment and warehouse distribution facility in Maryland Heights, Missouri. The new McCarthy Equipment Operations Hub signals an essential investment to support the company’s projected growth for the Central Region and meet the expanding pipeline of large-scale, complex projects.

The new Equipment Operations Hub will span nearly 740,520 square feet and is designed to support McCarthy’s growing self-perform capabilities. The site includes a nine-and-a-half-acre equipment yard and a 66,400-square-foot building that will include a 32,000-square-foot warehouse, 10,000-square-foot equipment maintenance shop and two-story, 24,400-square-foot office space. The facility will also include areas for team training, and its flexible design will support future expansion.

Scheduled for completion in 2026, the Equipment Operations Hub will streamline critical resources to enhance McCarthy’s delivery of high-quality, efficient construction services across its 28-state Central Region, which includes offices in St. Louis, Kansas City and Omaha. The facility will support not only local commercial construction projects, as well as all of the region’s water/wastewater, industrial facilities, infrastructure and power projects.

In addition to its operational advantages, the facility is designed with flexibility to support workforce development, hands-on training and community engagement. Dedicated spaces will be adaptable for craft training, prefabrication workshops and educational programs that help prepare the next generation of construction professionals.

As part of McCarthy’s long-term hometown growth strategy, the new Maryland Heights facility builds on more than a century of company roots in St. Louis and reflects a deepened commitment to regional reinvestment. Situated in a designated industrial development area, the facility is better suited to meet the company’s expanding operational needs, which have outgrown its current leased property in Ladue, Missouri, that has been in use since the mid-1960s.
