HUNTSVILLE, AL – Alabama-based national program management firm HPM Leadership announced a new phase of expansion into Huntsville with the opening of a larger office location in Huntsville. Since 1997, the company has focused on representing owners in managing the planning, design and construction of capital projects, and has completed numerous projects across North Alabama.

“HPM has stayed loyal to its roots in Alabama since our company’s beginnings more than 26 years ago, and this expansion proved to be an easy decision as Huntsville remains one of our most active markets in the state,” said HPM President Ryan Austin. “As Huntsville, Madison, Decatur and the surrounding areas have experienced explosive growth, we have seen an influx of work here, too. With this larger presence, we can foster our existing long-term relationships with valued partners while also making new connections to continue providing quality work to the region’s most high-profile projects.”

HPM’s presence in the North Alabama area dates back to 2009 with the construction of West Wind Technology’s MRO facility, for which HPM provided program management and owners’ representation services.

In recent years, the firm has continued to serve the market with notable projects including 52,000 square feet of interior renovations at Drake State Technical and Community College; the construction of a new 204,000-square-foot North Alabama distribution center for Buffalo Rock; the renovation of the 180,000-square-foot Sparkman Building at Calhoun Community College; and renovation and expansion projects on behalf of Aerojet Rocketdyne.

Most recently, HPM was selected to manage the construction of The University of Alabama in Huntsville’s new Engineering Building, which is set to commence in Fall 2024.

The company has appointed David Jones as senior program manager to lead initiatives out of the Huntsville office, located at 200 Clinton Avenue West, Suite 703. Since joining HPM in 2018, David has assisted in the execution of ongoing capital development programs throughout Alabama and possesses more than 17 years of construction experience.

“This expansion continues our efforts to bolster HPM’s services in markets across the region, and I’m honored to oversee our talented team and ongoing strategy in Huntsville,” said Jones. “We have already built a trusted reputation through our project successes in the market, and now we can grow our portfolio with a stronger boots-on-the-ground approach. We look forward to finding new opportunities for growth and strengthening our robust team in The Rocket City and beyond.”
