The DPR team is responsible for all construction and
worksite management, including a commitment to deliver
the project on schedule and within budget.
Bill Flemming, KPMG’s managing director and head of
construction management, will oversee DPR’s efforts. The
contractor is headquartered in Redwood City, CA.
“Our state-of-the-art complex is a large investment in
our people and devotes space to an innovation center to
support both training and client engagement as well as
meeting, classroom, residential, and dining facilities,”
KPMG chief financial officer David Turner said in a state-
ment. “The campus also will boast a heritage center to
highlight KPMG’s rich history and culture.”
“DPR’s broad experience and cutting-edge approach to
corporate office, campus, and hospitality projects dovetail
exceptionally well with the nature of our campus,” said
Flemming. “Our execution team is 100 percent local, and we’ll run
the project out of our Orlando office,” said Scott Lyons,
who leads DPR’s Orlando office. “We’re so pleased and ex-
cited that we earned the trust of KPMG to deliver this state-
of-the-art complex. Like KPMG, DPR is committed to
continuous learning and development, and we’re looking
forward to applying our technical know-how, experience,
and innovative techniques to deliver exceptional results.”
DPR is familiar with the Lake Nona community and its
master developer, Tavistock Group, having served as con-
tractor for a number of projects there, including the re-
cently completed United States Tennis Association
National Campus.
Notably, DPR has collaborated on nearly 500 projects
with Gensler, KPMG’s design firm for the campus. “DPR’s
strong working relationship with Gensler helps ensure that
our design vision is executed with the highest quality and
greatest attention to detail,” said Flemming.
Meanwhile, KPMG has begun land preparation and
mass grading on the 55-acre site, with plans to lay the foun-
dation over the next 90 days.
