FlatironDragados is the second-largest civil construction company in North America, with $6.8 billion in revenue in 2024.
After a recent merger of Colorado-based Flatiron and Spain-based Dragados’ North American arm, the company decided to relocate its combined U.S. headquarters to Perimeter Center this summer.
