Boston-based Suffolk Construction has tapped industry veteran Chris Anderson to lead its newly opened Las Vegas office, which it established to support the increasing development in gaming and hospitality projects in the region.
Anderson, who will serve as the new office’s general manager, brings 40 years of business development, financial management and pre-construction executive experience, according to a news release. He spent more than 20 years at Los Angeles-based Tutor Perini and its predecessor, Perini Building Co., according to his LinkedIn profile.
"Las Vegas presents unique opportunities and challenges in construction, and Suffolk's technology-driven methods are perfectly suited to deliver value to clients in this market,” Anderson said in the release.
Anderson isn’t the first former Tutor Perini veteran that Suffolk has tapped for its gaming division — in November 2023, the builder brought on Chris Creasey, who spent more than 23 years with the Los Angeles contractor, to serve as vice president of its overall gaming division.
Suffolk said its new office will further position it at the epicenter of the gaming industry, where the company will continue to deliver complex, large-scale hospitality and entertainment projects, according to the release. For example, the contractor recently won the contract for the Four Seasons Private Residences in Henderson, Nevada. Suffolk will construct two adjoining luxury condominium buildings with 171 residential units and a host of shared high-end amenities, per the project page.
"Las Vegas is a growing and dynamic market for gaming and hospitality and Suffolk’s streamlined approach to managing complex, sophisticated projects positions us well to add even more value with an office on the ground," Pete Tuffo, Suffolk’s president of the Gulf Coast region and national gaming, said in the release.
