Block E Contractor Info Session Builds on Inclusive Contracting Efforts to Date

One Foot In The Past, One Foot In The Present, And Both Eyes On The Future
 
Soon, we will embark on the second phase of the Lower Hill District commercial development, Block E, which will include 900+ space parking garage and 4,500 person music venue, street-level retail space and community assets such as a retail business incubator. As we advance toward creating future opportunities with Block E, we also look back, and celebrate the M/WBE businesses that have been critical to advancing the FNB Financial Center on Block G.
 
Together, The Buccini/Pollin Group and partners of the Lower Hill Development team, have achieved impressive construction contracting commitments for FNB Financial Center, which is now 200 feet in the air and growing taller with the continued installation of concrete and steel.
 
To date, our initial contracts are valued at nearly $100 million and feature:

• $35 million in contracts for MBEs (representing 35% of total to date)
• $24 million of which are Black-owned businesses (23% of total)
• Approximately $8 million of the total contracts are for WBEs
• Commitments to 42 different M/WBEs across 29 construction trades; commitments to 73 M/WBE’s across construction and pre-development
