Akron Construction Market Overview
Once known as the Rubber Capital of the World, Akron remains a center for polymer science and advanced materials. Goodyear is headquartered in the city, the University of Akron is known for polymer research, and manufacturers across Summit County continue to invest in plant upgrades and new facilities. FirstEnergy is also headquartered in Akron.
Healthcare is a major construction driver, with Akron Children’s Hospital, Summa Health and Cleveland Clinic Akron General serving the region. Downtown redevelopment, adaptive reuse of older industrial buildings and growth in suburbs such as Fairlawn, Hudson, Stow and Green add commercial and residential work.
Akron sits between Cleveland and Canton, with Cuyahoga Valley National Park just to the north. Our estimators price industrial, healthcare and residential projects across the area with Northeast Ohio conditions in mind.
