John Moriarty & Associates

What John Moriarty & Associates does

John Moriarty & Associates is a privately held construction management and general contracting firm founded in 1985 and headquartered in Farmington, Massachusetts. The company operates four regional offices across the East Coast — Winchester (Massachusetts), Arlington (Virginia/D.C.), Durham (North Carolina, opened May 2022), and Hollywood (Florida) — and delivers large-scale vertical construction projects through fixed-price contracts, GMP (Guaranteed Maximum Price) contracts, and cost-plus fee arrangements. Its primary customer base consists of real estate developers and institutional owners; repeat developer clients include Greystar, Crescent Communities, Property Markets Group, and Insight Property Group, alongside institutional clients such as Biogen, MIT Investment Management Co., Georgetown University, and Subtext.

The company's core offerings are construction management and general contracting across five project verticals: multifamily residential (luxury high-rises, student housing, mixed-use), commercial office, life science laboratories and biotechnology facilities, institutional projects (universities, museums, public facilities), and hospitality (luxury hotels and branded residences). Notable projects include Biogen's 580,000-square-foot global headquarters at 75 Broadway in Cambridge, MA, the 65+ story E11EVEN Club Hotel & Residences in Miami, and multiple award-winning multifamily towers in the D.C. metro. The firm has no proprietary technology platform; its competitive positioning relies on a long-tenured workforce, four-decade brand reputation, and sustained repeat developer relationships.

Revenue is generated project-by-project through competitive bidding, RFPs, and direct developer relationships, with multi-year project timelines. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed through the four regional offices, supported by a portfolio-driven website, LinkedIn presence, university recruitment, and earned media through industry awards (ULI Washington, ENR MidAtlantic, Multifamily Executive, CoStar Impact, USGBC). The company employs between 501 and 1,000 people, is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment or M&A activity, and is led by CEO Chris Brown and Principal Mike Leavitt. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
