April 20, 2021
VGXI, Inc., a highly specialized contract developer and manufacturer for DNA-based biopharmaceuticals, celebrated a significant milestone for its new headquarters and manufacturing facility with a topping out ceremony on Monday, April 19, 2021. The event was hosted by BE&K Building Group and culminated with the raising and placing of the final steel beam for the new structure.
Construction of the state-of-the-art production facility is occurring on a 21.5 acre tract of land located at Deison Technology Park in Conroe, Texas. The existing land purchase supports multiple expansion phases beyond the initial building, and VGXI also retains first option for an additional 21 acres to support continued, future company growth on pace with industry forecasts. Timelines are on track to achieve substantial completion for the building by 4Q 2021 with the site becoming operational by 1Q 2022.
“We are thrilled to mark the progress for VGXI’s new headquarters and production facility,” stated VGXI CEO Young Park. “The expanded capacity, flexibility, and specialized capabilities the purpose-built plant will offer our clients perfectly complements our experienced team’s technical skill and commitment to quality. I have no doubt VGXI will continue to be a world leader in cGMP plasmid manufacturing as we transition to the new site.”
“It has been a pleasure working with BE&K to get the project to this stage” stated Dorothy Peterson, VGXI’s COO and member of the VGXI team for 14 years. “They have been working diligently to meet the timelines and ensure the project stays on track. VGXI is excited to reach this milestone and looks forward to the building completion and what this state-of-the-art facility will bring to the industry.”
BE&K Building Group is the design-builder of record, in partnership with architectural partner Hanbury and engineering partner Hipp Engineering & Consulting.
