Celebrating 20 Years of DB|JKS

FOXBORO — On March 4th, 2025, Dellbrook|JKS gathered its team of 200 individuals to celebrate its 20-year anniversary at the company’s annual meeting, a night dedicated to honoring the past year’s successes, while discussing the firm’s vision for the future.

Held at Gillette Stadium’s Sports Illustrated Pavilion, the evening began with a cocktail hour followed by dinner and a program led by President & CEO, Mike Fish. During his address, Fish reflected on Dellbrook|JKS’ growth, shared insights from the previous year, and celebrated employees marking 5-, 10-, and 20-year anniversaries with the company. Chief Operating Officer Ed Sople, Director of Human Resources Sandy Parsons, and Vice President of Estimating Joe Yee were specially honored for 20 years of service to Dellbrook|JKS, having been with the company since its founding.

“This milestone is not just about celebrating where we started; it’s about recognizing that Dellbrook|JKS’ success is thanks to our dedicated team and the relationships we have proudly cultivated for the past 20 years,” said Mike. “We look forward to building more of what matters to communities in New England and seeing where the next two decades takes us.”

A highlight of the night included the video presentation and live, company-wide voting of Dellbrook|JKS’ annual Project of the Year awards, recognizing excellence in both the Large and Small Project categories, grouped by revenue volume.

In the Large Project category, The Newbury of Brookline, a luxury senior living development by Kisco Senior Living, earned top honors. The project was recognized for its intricate details, semi-historic renovation, and complex, large-scale new construction. Other finalists included the historic Tower Court Renovations at Wellesley College and Ashlar Park, a large-scale residential community by FoxRock Properties.

In the Small Project category, Leland House in Waltham was awarded Project of the Year for its Passive House design, impact on its residents, and strong collaboration with the owner, 2Life Communities. Additional nominees included the Vineyard Wind Operations & Maintenance Building, used to support offshore wind infrastructure, the uniquely designed Cape Cod 5 Plymouth Banking Center, and meticulously renovated Union Block Apartments by Neighborhood of Affordable Housing (NOAH).

Together, these nominated projects represent just seven of the 40+ active jobs managed by the company in 2024. Founded in 2005, with just five employees and four projects, Dellbrook|JKS has grown into one of the largest construction companies in Massachusetts.
