Suffolk Construction seeks to expand Roxbury headquarters

Suffolk Construction has filed plans with the BRA to build a $22-million, 38,000-square-foot expansion to its 65 Allerton St. headquarters, starting with tearing down four old warehouse buildings.

The vacant and dilapidated warehouse buildings at 79-91 Allerton Street will be replaced by a dramatic new building, designed by noted design firm Elkus Manfredi Architects, which will set a new standard for the design quality for the area. Visible from nearby Massachusetts Avenue, the building will be a symbol of the continuing rebirth of the area.

The company employs roughly 332 people at its current headquarters and expects to add another 33 or so employees - and another 100 employees from an affiliated company moving from Braintree.
