Suffolk\u2014a Boston-based construction management and real estate investment firm with billions of dollars in annual revenue\u2014has named Chris Guice as its new general manager of Advanced Manufacturing.<\/p>\n

Based in Dallas, Guice will help lead Suffolk\u2019s continued expansion into advanced manufacturing sectors, including semiconductors, electric vehicle and battery production, robotics, solar, and precision manufacturing across the United States. He will also support Suffolk\u2019s continued growth across Texas.<\/p>\n

Pat Lucey, president of Suffolk Northeast and National Centers of Excellence, said advanced manufacturing clients \u201cneed builders who understand the technical complexity behind these facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChris brings deep experience across the semiconductor ecosystem,\u201d Lucey added in a statement, \u201calong with longstanding relationships in Texas, that will help us continue scaling this platform while strengthening Suffolk\u2019s presence throughout the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Semiconductor experience and North Texas CRE connections<\/p>\n

Guice has 25 years of construction and business development experience with Austin Commercial, where he most recently served as Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. During his tenure, he has supported projects in semiconductors, healthcare, aviation, higher education, and commercial real estate.<\/p>\n

His semiconductor experience includes wafer fabrication, advanced node manufacturing, analog chip plants, optical chip manufacturing, and research and development environments.<\/p>\n

He also brings numerous relationships across the Dallas\/Fort Worth commercial real estate market, including Granite Properties, KDC, Stream Realty, and Trammell Crow Company.<\/p>\n

Advanced manufacturing needs and DFW projects<\/p>\n

Suffolk said the strategic hire comes as companies continue to invest in domestic semiconductor production, supply chain resilience, and highly technical facilities that require speed, precision, and certainty.<\/p>\n

Suffolk\u2019s Advanced Manufacturing group is designed to meet those needs by bringing technical planning to the areas that matter most in advanced manufacturing environments, including detailed digital twins, process piping, high-purity systems, commissioning, test and balance, cleanroom layout, tool installation, and work within active environments where production and existing tools must remain online.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat attracted me to Suffolk is the company\u2019s willingness to invest in the people, technology and planning capabilities these projects require,\u201d Guice said. \u201cClients in this sector and region are looking for partners who can think ahead, solve problems early and understand the technical coordination required for these facilities. Suffolk\u2019s national platform, technology-forward approach, and collaborative culture create a strong foundation to help clients bring greater certainty to schedule, cost, and delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Suffolk portfolio can be seen across Dallas-Fort Worth<\/p>\n

Suffolk\u2019s Dallas-Fort Worth diverse project portfolio includes Children\u2019s Health Specialty Center at RedBird, The Galbraith, The Terminal at Katy Trail, the Dallas County Mesquite Government Center, and significant work at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, where the company is managing renovations to DFW Terminal C<\/a> and construction of an all-electric Central Utility Plant (eCUP).<\/p>\n
