Suffolk Breaks Ground on New Mesquite Government Center for Dallas County, Reinforcing Firm’s Diversification and Rapid Growth in the Strategic Government Construction Sector

Suffolk celebrates groundbreaking of new government building for Dallas County, which will serve as a hub for multiple government groups; experienced government project team will leverage the industry’s most sophisticated technologies and processes to deliver a construction management experience and results unique to the region

Suffolk, one of the largest and most innovative real estate and construction enterprises in the country, today celebrated the groundbreaking of the Dallas County Mesquite Government Center. Located in Mesquite, Texas, this 56,325 square-foot, two-story building will serve as the new home for multiple government departments and user groups. Featured in the facility will be a Tax Office, Constable Office, Justice of the Peace and Juvenile Services, as well as an area for community space and early voting operations.

“Suffolk is thrilled to begin work on the Mesquite Government Center for Dallas County,” said Brad Brown, Suffolk’s President of the South Central Region. “Suffolk looks forward to building a long term and collaborative relationship with Dallas County through this crucial project, which will act as a community hub and allow the County to increase the services and benefits it provides to its growing number of residents.”

This project will expand Dallas County government’s presence in Mesquite and provide a space for the County to house key resources that will help fulfill its strategic priorities of meeting local business needs, fostering job creation, planning for diverse housing opportunities and prioritizing workforce development, among others. This project is scheduled to finish construction in June 2024 and is being completed under a design-build partnership with architect Moody Nolan. The building will incorporate multiple sustainable components allowing it to target LEED Silver certification upon its completion.

“We are excited to announce the upcoming Mesquite Government Center, which reflects our strong commitment to serving the residents and businesses of Dallas County and the City of Mesquite,” said Jonathon Bazan, Assistant County Administrator. “This project has been carefully planned with a focus on supporting small businesses, inclusivity, and meeting the needs of our community. Effective service delivery is a top priority for the County, and the construction of this facility will further that objective.”

Wardell Ross Jr., Director of Operations for Moody Nolan Dallas, added, “As rapid growth continues in Dallas County, Moody Nolan is honored to partner with Suffolk on the Mesquite Government Center. As a firm, we do our best work when serving our local communities, and we look forward to providing residents with a new facility that offers additional services to meet their evolving needs.”
