For over 70 years we have created some of the most iconic buildings in northern Nevada. Hotels, casinos, office buildings, shopping centers, warehouses, roads and bridges, apartments and corporate headquarters McKenzie-built structures dot the Reno skyline and are used by thousands of people every day.
Founded in 1953 by E.W. McKenzie – and family owned for three generations – our company built the first concrete tilt up warehouse in the State of Nevada. This revolution in construction made it much quicker and more affordable to construct commercial buildings than it had ever been before. In over 70 years in business, we have constructed over $1 billion in projects.
