CONNECTING
WITH LANDRY/FRENCH
Celebrating 15 Years of Relationships and Success
A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
TO OUR VALUED CLIENTS, DEDICATED EMPLOYEES, AND TRUSTED TRADE PARTNERS
Landry/French has officially reached a significant milestone—our 15th anniversary!
In these 15 years, we’ve accomplished more than many thought possible. We've formed lasting relationships with design partners, trade partners, and, most importantly, our clients. Landry/French has been recognized nationally, appearing on the INC 5000 Fastest Growing Companies in America list four times, ranked among the ENR Top East Contractors, and named to the ENR Top 400 Contractors in the U.S. But perhaps the recognition I’m most proud of is being named one of the Best Places to Work in Maine for 11 consecutive years.
Throughout this journey, we’ve tackled projects that were both challenging and deeply rewarding. One that truly stands out is the Abbott Labs initiative—two simultaneous, high-pressure builds during the COVID-19 pandemic: Southgate in Scarborough and Bradley Drive in Westbrook.
Bradley Drive pushed us to the edge. I remember hearing, “You’ve done it this time, Kevin—there’s no way this can be done.” But what they didn’t know—
and what I did—was the deep trust and confidence I had in our entire team. We had the opportunity to assemble a dream team that believed anything was possible. From our dedicated design partners and selfless trade partners to our employees who embraced a challenge unlike any they’d seen in their careers, everyone leaned in. We had one chance to get it right—and we nailed it!
We delivered in just 90 days what even some national rapid response teams may have struggled to achieve. We pulled every lever—merging teams to boost output, flying in workers from New York during the COVID lockdown, and relying heavily on local partnerships—we had built a strong mutual trust.
I’ll never forget the final push. Just one hour before the Certificate of Occupancy was issued, we were still completing a lab space. A 6,000-SF ceiling had yet to be flooded due to the ongoing work above. But at that moment, all the trades jumped in to get it done, together. It didn’t matter that you were in the office or field, laborer, or electrician, and yes, even a CEO, and we did pass on the 90th day as promised. And because of it, Abbott was able to begin producing COVID-19 test kits—not just for America, but for the world. It was an honor to be involved in such an important project, a project that none of us will forget anytime soon.
Looking back, that project was more than a milestone. It was a cultural turning point. It transformed our company into one that believes in what’s possible when we work together with focus, have a sense of urgency, and trust one another. This cultural adaptation has benefited not only Landry/French but also our entire organization. Our clients receive a better product with teamwork and collaboration.
We’ve shown that you don’t need to be a national firm to have intelligent, capable people. You need a team that believes in doing what’s right. You need partners you can trust, and who can trust you. Local knowledge combined with experienced, dedicated professionals utilizing best-in-class systems is a VERY powerful tool that cannot be replaced. That’s what Landry/French stands for. It’s what we’ll continue to deliver in the years ahead.
Thank you for believing in us, working alongside us, and being part of this incredible journey.
A DECADE OF BUILDING AT COLBY
Shaping Community and Campus
In the fall of 2016, Landry/French Construction was selected for its first project with Colby College—a Design-Build project to create a 200-bed student residence hall in the heart of downtown Waterville. When the building opened in the fall of 2018, it marked more than just the completion of a project—it was the beginning of a trusted relationship.
That success opened the door to several transformative developments along Main Street, including the Paul J. Schupf Art Center, the Arts Collaborative, and the Lockwood Hotel. At the same time, Landry/French expanded its work on campus, tackling select projects that ultimately led to our largest effort yet: the Mayflower Hill Residence Hall, now under construction.
These projects highlight Landry/French’s capabilities in delivering innovative, high-quality construction that supports Colby’s vision while strengthening the Waterville community. We’re honored to be a trusted partner and are excited to continue shaping the future with Colby.

Revitalizing Waterville’s historic downtown, Colby College’s Alfond Commons is a 100,000SF mixed-use residence hall that houses 200 students, along with faculty apartments, retail space, and the Chace Community Forum. The building brings new energy to Main Street, creating a vibrant hub that connects students, residents, and the broader community. This project was delivered in 19 months ensuring Colby's occupancy requirements were met.
The Paul J. Schupf Art Center has become the centerpiece of downtown Waterville, preserving history while creating a vibrant hub for art, film, and community events.
The 32,000-SF building includes a contemporary gallery of the Colby College Museum of Art on the ground level; three screening rooms for the Maine Film Center and the Maine International Film Festival, the Common Street Arts gallery, and multidisciplinary educational spaces.
The Lockwood Hotel pays homage to the city's mill heritage with its limestone façade and timeless design. The boutique-style hotel offers 53 guest rooms, locally inspired dining at Front & Main, and serves as a warm, inviting gateway to Main Street.
Currently under construction, the 112,000-SF Mayflower Hill Residence Hall will feature six connected mass timber buildings with suite-style student housing, a campus café, and inviting community spaces. The new residence hall is scheduled to open in the fall of 2026 and will be the largest cross-laminated timber (CLT) building in Maine once completed.
SPACES THAT HEAL
From Cancer Care to Community Hospitals, Delivering Spaces Where Providers and Patients Thrive
Landry/French Construction has played a key role in building healthcare facilities across Maine over the past 15 years, creating environments that support the critical work of healthcare providers. Our experience ranges from medical campuses to specialized treatment centers, each requiring thoughtful planning, strong coordination, and a focus on quality to meet the unique demands of healthcare environments.
At the center of this work is our dedicated healthcare team, whose experience in medical construction ensures that every project meets the highest standards. They understand the critical considerations of working in these complex settings—from infection control and patient privacy to minimizing disruptions within active facilities— and bring the expertise needed to deliver safe, efficient, and reliable results.
We've highlighted four projects that demonstrate how we bring that commitment to life, combining technical excellence with a strong focus on enhancing the patient experience.

LANDRY/FRENCH
DELIVERS MAINE’S
TALLEST
BUILDING
IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN PORTLAND
Transforming Portland’s Skyline with a 201-Foot, Mixed-Use Tower
In 2024, Landry/French Construction completed a landmark project that reshaped Portland’s skyline. Standing at 201 feet, the new 18-story, 180,000-SF mixed-use tower is now the tallest building in Maine— marking a significant milestone for the city and the state.
As Construction Manager, Landry/French brought the project to life in the heart of Portland’s Historic District, delivering 263 market-rate apartments that help meet the growing demand for downtown housing. The building also features a 2,100-SF fitness center, a commercial office suite, and a lower-level gallery.
Residents enjoy high-end amenities, including a 1,500-SF sky lounge on the top floor with sweeping views of Casco Bay (top photo) and a 3,000-SF shared lounge on the second floor (center photo) featuring co-working desks and collaborative spaces. Outside, a thoughtfully designed plaza features benches, a water wall, and lush plantings—bringing vibrancy and public appeal to the urban streetscape.
Mindful of its historic surroundings, the building’s design incorporates traditional Portland materials like red brick and granite at the lower levels to reflect the city’s architectural roots. Using modern two-story panels fabricated off-site with pre-installed windows, the upper stories enhanced construction efficiency and ensured the project met its aggressive schedule.
Landry/French’s Preconstruction team played a key role in developing innovative solutions to align with both the client’s vision and budget. Early collaboration with project stakeholders— including the architect, consultants, and key trade partners—was critical to the project’s success.
This transformative project not only adds to the city’s housing stock, but also raises the bar for what is possible in Maine’s built environment.
LANDRY/FRENCH’S IMPACT ON MAINE’S SCHOOLS
From Skowhegan to Windham, Landry/French is Delivering Innovative Learning Environments for Maine’s Next Generation
In communities across Maine, Landry/French Construction is helping shape the future—one school at a time. With one completed and two major projects underway, our commitment to building modern, student-centered learning environments is stronger than ever. Each school tells a story of innovation, collaboration, and community impact. Celebrating 15 Years
TOP PHOTO:
Set to become the largest school ever built in Maine, the new Windham-Raymond Middle School is a transformative project. At 260,000 square feet and $128 million, this forward-thinking facility is poised to set a new benchmark for educational spaces in the state.
The new school will feature a 600-seat auditorium for performances and presentations; two full-size gymnasiums and an indoor elevated track; dedicated community center spaces repurposed from former schools; and multiple meeting and collaboration areas to support flexible learning.
The new Margaret Chase Smith Community School in Skowhegan marks a major investment in the future of Skowhegan and the surrounding communities. The $58 million, 152,730-SF facility serves 800 students in Pre-K through Grade 5, with four wings that include classroom space, administrative offices, music and arts rooms, a multipurpose gymnasium, cafeteria, and auditorium.
The school also features a unique Early Childhood Pre-K program, modeled after the nationally recognized Educare framework. A dedicated infant/toddler and preschool wing—developed in partnership with the Kennebec Valley Community Action Program—offers a secure, separate drop-off area and entrance to support the youngest learners.
Currently under construction, the new $70 million Mountain Valley Community School in Mexico will bring together more than 1,000 students in grades K–8 under one roof.

An Early Childhood Education Center for Pre-K students further reinforces the school’s focus on lifelong learning. Phase 1 is scheduled for completion in early 2026, with site work and athletic fields to follow that summer.
Celebrating 15 Years
BUILDING SAFER COMMUNITIES
Delivering Modern Facilities for Those Who Protect Us
During the last 15 years, Landry/French Construction has played a part in shaping communities across Maine. Among the projects we value most are public safety buildings—facilities that serve as the heart of local emergency response. These are the places where police officers and firefighters prepare for duty, respond in moments of need, and safeguard the people they serve. Working closely with municipalities, Landry/French has delivered modern police and fire stations built for efficiency, durability, and decades of service. In this issue, we’re showcasing a few of these important projects that help keep our communities safe.
The 27,000-SF, state-of-the-art Augusta Police Station features secure parking, an evidence lab, interview rooms, a dispatch center, a training room, and a fitness center. Designed to complement Augusta’s historic architecture, the building is elevated three feet to protect against Kennebec River flooding and is topped with solar panels that feed electricity back to the grid.
Serving as a three-story hub for combined police, fire, and regional dispatch operations, the 59,000-SF Scarborough Public Safety Building includes four drive-through apparatus bays, detective offices, booking areas, training rooms, dormitories, and the Town’s Network Operations Center. Extensive site work, budget-conscious preconstruction, and on-time delivery—despite COVID-19— were key to the project’s success.
► At 40,300 SF, the Wells Public Safety Building brings together police and fire operations under one roof. Designed with bulletproof security features, covered cruiser parking, and a modern dispatch center, it also includes fire bays, a training mezzanine, and living quarters. Value engineering efforts saved 10% of the construction budget without reducing square footage.
Currently under construction, this four-story, 20,000-SF Ogunquit Municipal Campus houses Town Hall and police operations, along with renovations to the Dunaway Community Center. Police spaces include evidence bays, holding rooms, secure processing areas, and living quarters, while the Town Hall features public service counters, offices, and meeting rooms. Completion is slated for December 2025.
Combining police and fire services under one roof, the 27,000-SF Yarmouth Public Safety Building shares common spaces such as a reception lobby, training room, and fitness center. Police areas include an armory, evidence storage, and a separate custody entrance, while fire amenities feature five apparatus bays, a decontamination space, bunk rooms, and a day room.
Celebrating 15 Years
SHAPING THE FUTURE OF RESEARCH, MANUFACTURING, AND INNOVATION
Landry/French Construction has a proven track record of delivering complex, highly specialized projects for clients in the life science, technology, and advanced manufacturing sectors. Our experience spans state-of-theart research environments, missioncritical laboratory renovations, and high-tech manufacturing facilities—all executed within occupied, sensitive environments where precision and coordination are paramount. In just 15 years, Landry/French has built an impressive portfolio of science and technology clients who entrust us with their most sophisticated and operationally critical projects—a testament to our depth of expertise, technical capabilities, and ability to deliver without compromise.
For Harvey Performance Company, Landry/French constructed a new 79,000-SF advanced manufacturing headquarters in Gorham, designed to expand research and development capabilities and accommodate high-tech machining operations. The facility incorporates energyefficient and sustainable features and is designed for future expansion, serving as an innovation hub for cutting tool design, testing, and production.
PHOTOS:
Landry/French managed a multi-phased expansion and renovation of LGC Clinical Diagnostics’ occupied Cumberland facility. The project included new product storage spaces, upgraded infrastructure, and the renovation of research and development and quality control labs, all carried out under strict clean-build protocols to ensure uninterrupted operations in highly controlled lab environments.
Over the years, Landry/French has completed a range of projects for The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, from critical upgrades to animal research facilities to converting existing spaces into modern laboratories and offices. Each required meticulous planning, adherence to ICRA protocols, and close collaboration with JAX Facilities and research teams to minimize disruption to vital scientific operations.
One example shown is the 20,000-SF renovation of Building 28, which reimagined the space as JAX’s “office of the future.”
15 Years
A RAPID RESPONSE THAT ALLOWED THE NATION TO REOPEN DURING COVID
One of the most impactful projects in Landry/ French Construction’s 15-year history was the transformation of a former 145,000-SF Olympia Sports Distribution Center for Abbott Laboratories Completed at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was recognized with the 2021 AGC Build Maine Award for its critical role in rapidly expanding testing capacity—a pivotal achievement that helped the nation reopen safely and curb the spread of the virus.
When Abbott, a global leader in diagnostic testing, acquired the Westbrook facility, it faced an urgent challenge: transforming the space into clean production and laboratory manufacturing environments capable of producing millions of COVID-19 test kits. In early May, Abbott called Landry/French Construction to take on the project— and deliver it on an extraordinary, unprecedented timeline.
The scope was daunting: more than 50,000 square feet needed to be renovated in just 60 days, with another nearly 30,000 square feet delivered only 30 days later. The Landry/French team
embraced the challenge with the mantra, “building the plane while flying it.”
To accelerate progress, Landry/French took the atypical but highly effective step of co-locating the entire project team—including architects and engineers—on site. This collaborative approach allowed for real-time decision-making, with design solutions sometimes drawn directly on the floor to keep construction moving without delay. Every hour mattered, and the project team found creative solutions to maintain momentum, from installing temporary equipment to arranging truss deliveries over Memorial Day weekend. That effort required unprecedented approvals from multiple agencies, including the Governor’s Office, Maine Turnpike Authority, and state police from both Maine and New Hampshire. It marked the first time in the Maine Turnpike Authority’s history that oversized loads were permitted over a holiday weekend.
The schedule wasn’t the only challenge. With more than 200 subcontractors on site at the height of construction—and the pandemic still surging—strict health and safety measures were implemented to protect everyone on site.
Despite the intense pace, Landry/ French delivered the project with 306,000 work hours and zero lost-time accidents. On July 8, just 60 days from the project’s start, Abbott received a Certificate of Occupancy for Phase I, which included 35,700 square feet of clean production space and 17,000 square feet of office space, enabling test kit production to begin immediately. By August, Phase II was complete, adding another 16,000 square feet of production space, 11,000 square feet of offices, and parking for 400 cars.
This extraordinary project exemplifies what can be achieved through teamwork, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to both urgency and precision. More than a construction success story, it was a project that made a lasting impact on the health and safety of communities nationwide.
"Reflecting on what we accomplished, I am reminded of the words of Robert F. Kennedy, who said, "Only those who dare to fail greatly, can ever achieve greatly." Last year, we were all forced to re-examine our plans, transform the way we work, and make tough decisions. You and your team should be immensely proud of what you delivered in the face of adversity. Your team met and exceeded the challenges we faced with dogged determination, creativity, and flexibility. Together, we were able to achieve so much in such a short time—truly a once-in-a-lifetime accomplishment.

The two-floor layout includes executive and support offices, a new lobby with an elevator, conference and wellness spaces, a museum highlighting the company’s history, and an expanded parking lot. Completed over ten months, the project delivers a functional, modern workspace designed for collaboration and long-term use.
At One Portland Square, a 64,000-SF, 10-phase renovation transformed the top four floors of the building into a modern office for Verrill. The space features a two-story conference center with nine meeting rooms, a “Loungebrary” social hub, and upgraded finishes, lighting, and mechanical systems, all completed while the firm remained fully operational.
Completed over 20 months with careful coordination and off-hours work, the renovation provides a functional and collaborative space for both employees and clients.
Prudential’s Portland office underwent a 14,000-SF renovation that brought a fresh, open and light-filled design highlighted by white oak panels, glass storefronts, a living moss wall, and flexible workspaces. The project also upgraded the building's systems, added new bathrooms, integrated sound masking, and installed motorized window treatments, all completed within an occupied six-story building. Completed in just five months, the space is a bright, functional, and inviting environment for collaboration and focused work.
LANDRY/FRENCH EXPANDS INTO FLORIDA WITH ACQUISITION OF MH WILLIAMS CONSTRUCTION
Acquisition Brings New Opportunities for Both Firms
Landry/French Construction reached a key milestone in June 2024 with the acquisition of MH Williams Construction Group, a respected firm in Melbourne, Florida, with a 38-year history. The partnership expands Landry/French’s presence into Florida’s fast-growing Space Coast while bringing added resources and opportunities to MH Williams’ team, now part of the Landry/French ESOP.
In June 2024, Landry/French Construction took a major step in its growth strategy by acquiring MH Williams Construction Group, a respected Melbourne, Florida-based firm founded in 1987.
Serving Florida’s Space Coast for more than 37 years, MH Williams continues to operate under its well-known name with Mike Williams, Jr. at the helm. The acquisition has been mutually beneficial—MH Williams has access to Landry/French’s deep resources in preconstruction, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and Virtual Design & Construction (VDC), while Landry/French has been able to extend its geographic reach into one of Florida’s fastestgrowing regions. MH Williams' employees have also become part of the Landry/French Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
“As part of the firm’s growth strategy, Landry/French had been actively seeking to acquire a firm and expand geographically for almost two years. We were impressed by MH Williams’ great reputation, and our cultures and core values aligned,” said Kevin French, CEO and Chairman of Landry/French Construction.
Mike Williams, Jr., echoed the excitement about the future. “This marks an exciting new chapter for the company. The partnership has been an ideal fit for MH Williams, its employees, and its clients. It has enabled us to provide the resources and financial strength to compete for larger, more complex construction projects."
This acquisition marks a significant milestone for Landry/ French Construction, strengthening its position as a leader in the industry while expanding its reach and capabilities for years to come.
