Established in 1997, MarketOne Builders celebrates 25 years in business as a leading force in today’s construction industry. Managed by partners Tom Ford and James Fitzgerald, the company is licensed in five western states, but currently focuses on Sacramento and the North and East Bay Areas. Complementing the company’s downtown Sacramento headquarters, a new Napa office supports their continued growth in that area.
Specializing in private commercial projects, MarketOne emphasizes design-build, design-assist and other integrated preconstruction services. Projects span the commercial office, life science, technology/data center, industrial, hospitality and multifamily markets. Their project teams, committed to collaboration and transparency, combine solid building fundamentals with technology to create predictable outcomes.
“Sticking to our values and core beliefs is our foundation. Hiring and building our business has always been rooted in being relatable and confident, having integrity and being charitable.”
— James Fitzgerald, Director of Project Development
A true builder, MarketOne has in-house crews of skilled trade workers that self-perform demolition, concrete, framing, drywall and painting to deliver work at competitive prices and with a superior safety record. “Sticking to our values and core beliefs is our foundation,” says James Fitzgerald, director of project development. “Hiring and building our business has always been rooted in being relatable and confident, having integrity and being charitable.”
Tom Ford, director of operations, notes that “every employee has a passion to have fun, be solutions-oriented, do the right thing always and continue learning.” The company’s strong management team has decades of experience in complex projects throughout Northern California. In addition to Ford and Fitzgerald, the leadership team is Elease Terry, John Snider, Blake Griffin, Jim Cuttle, Wendy Nelson and Dylan DePaulo.
In 25 years, several MarketOne projects have enhanced the Sacramento community, including the B Street Theatre, Downtown Commons (DOCO) Retail Mall, 1200 R Street, 731 K Renovation, 660 J Street Renovation, the Jackson Laboratory West Coast Facility, Bogle Cold Storage Warehouse, FEMA Distribution Center and Sacramento Kings Corporate Offices. Under the leadership of Jim Cuttle, director of multifamily, MarketOne is currently under construction on the 1208 Q Lofts and the Residences at Stanly Ranch in Napa (an Auberge community).
Fitzgerald concludes, “Our strategic plan includes expanding our geographic boundaries and markets, perfecting our internal project management processes, and building and training talent to support our growth into the next 25 years.”
