On March 2nd, Dermody Properties and Locus Development Group as the project Developer team and United Construction as the Design-Builder were honored with awards for NAIOP Northern Nevada Industrial Park of the Year (Park at McCarran) and Industrial Build-to-Suit of the Year (Building 1 Ames). Since the NAIOP CRE Awards event was not held in 2023, the 2024 event was held to recognize projects completed in 2022 and 2023.

With the sheer size and scale of this development, United Construction people drove this project to successful completion over the 2-1/2-year project development timeline. This project was designed and built during the pandemic and broke ground just as supply chain issues started causing long lead times for various equipment and materials and the subsequent unpredictable material cost escalations.

Our deepest thanks and appreciation go to Locus Development Group (Joel Grace) and Dermody Properties (John Ramous) for selecting United Construction as their Design-Build partner on this remarkable project. We also thank the Ames, InnoPak, Candle Science and Fidelitone companies that occupied all the buildings as initial tenants.

Numerous United Construction team members who were responsible for successfully delivering these facilities deserve our utmost recognition include Audrey Mackey, Carrie Dyer, Casey Gunther, Jeremy Kearns, Chuck Brown, Dylan McAninch, Pete Brunner, Paul Laird, Sandy Penny, Catherine Bernauer, Chris Bennett, Keith Deutscher, Glady Robinette, Ken Rice, Leman Jones and Mark Byars.

United Construction has over 45 years’ experience designing and building industrial and manufacturing facilities, and for the Park at McCarran development was able to assemble the best project management/control team, consultants, vendors and subcontractors to successfully navigate and mitigate the project regulatory, permitting, schedule and financial challenges that were encountered on the project. This is what United Construction always does best, day in and day out for and with our customers.

Congratulations everyone!

Congratulations to our Manager of Personnel Operations, Sarah Schmidt, for being selected as a winner of Reno Tahoe Young Professionals Network’s Twenty under 40 Award! This award recognizes people for their professional accolades and community involvement in our region. Way to go, Sarah!

More about Sarah and her involvement in our community:

Since 2019, she has been on the committee for the Art of Childhood, an annual fundraiser for the Children’s Cabinet. Each year, they begin planning the event almost at the conclusion of the previous year. They are constantly coming up with innovative ways to promote, fundraise and encourage participation to raise funds for an organization that makes such a large impact on our community. This year, they raised over $700,000 for the Cabinet, surpassing all previous records. She coordinates the building of a playhouse to be auctioned off at the event, this year selling for over $3,700. She also sits on two committees for the AGC, Women in Construction, and the Construction Leadership Council. Both groups do construction and education-based community service and fundraising for the greater Truckee Meadows Area.

Sarah is very active in our community. She has been a member of the Reno Rodeo since 2015. In April of this year, she was voted onto the Board of Directors, one of only two people in Association history to unseat a sitting Director. The Board of 50 oversees association decisions for the membership of over a thousand people. In addition to being a director, she serves as the Chairman for the 50/50 raffle, which donates funds to local charities for each of the ten nights of the Reno Rodeo. Since her appointment to the chair position, they have surpassed yearly records of tickets sold, with over $162,000 in 2022. In addition to the 50/50 committee, she writes for the Reno Rodeo magazine and serves on the Legacy committee which is dedicated to preserving the integrity of western heritage while pursuing a state-of-the-art facility for the Association and regional use. The time and effort dedicated to the Reno Rodeo is huge, but the payback to our community is priceless.
