In addition, a large local prefabrication facility allows DPR to enhance quality and accelerate schedules, reinforcing its capabilities as a forward-thinking general contractor. DPR recently completed a new 15,000-sq.-ft. office space designed by SMBW Architects in Innsbrook.

The new office showcases an open layout, highlighted by a unique four-wall mural created by employees and a custom wine bar featuring a James River inlay, reflecting DPR’s culture and community ties. https://lnkd.in/edT4yhAB #GRACRE #rvacommercialrealestate #RVA #dprconstruction
