What Harold K. Jordan & Co., Inc. does

Harold K. Jordan & Co., Inc. is a private, founder-owned general contractor specializing in multi-family residential construction, headquartered in Apex, North Carolina, with additional operations in Raleigh and Wilmington. Founded in 1989, the firm has delivered more than 35,000 units over 35+ years and is licensed to operate across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. The company maintains 12–20 concurrent projects and reports revenue in excess of $300M supported by a 60-person organization.

The company's core product is multi-family residential general contracting — including ground-up construction, mixed-use developments, and Phase II expansions — delivered primarily for institutional and enterprise developer clients such as DeWitt Carolinas, Grubb Ventures, East West Partners, and Stone & Glazing. Active projects include the 394-unit Avalon Southpoint in Durham, the 215-unit Morrisville Town Center (a public-private partnership with Singh Development), the 55-unit The Grove at 17 North in Wilmington, and the 302-unit Mt Moriah Phase II expansion. The firm emphasizes safety performance, evidenced by a reported experience modification rate (EMR) of 0.88 — meaningfully below the industry benchmark of 1.0 — and an active safety collaboration with the N.C. Occupational Safety and Health Consultation Service Bureau.

Commercially, the firm operates a project-based revenue model tied to negotiated general contracting agreements with developer clients, with growth increasingly oriented toward mixed-use product lines and public-private partnership delivery structures. Geographic expansion is underway via a new Wilmington office opened in late 2025, extending the firm's footprint beyond its Apex/Raleigh base into coastal Carolina. The customer base is concentrated among a handful of large developers, and repeat engagements (e.g., Mt Moriah Phase II) indicate durable enterprise relationships, though revenue lumpiness is inherent to project-based contracting.
