ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Holland Construction Services announces that Steve Bauer has been promoted to project director and leader of the firm’s Special Projects Group.
Bauer brings more than 18 years of experience in construction management and will now oversee both large-scale developments and Holland’s growing portfolio of specialized, fast-paced interior and renovation projects.
Since joining Holland in 2020, Bauer has successfully led several high-profile projects, including The Avenir in University City, a $64 million luxury apartment community, and Sunnen Station Phase II, a 121-unit residential development in Maplewood, Mo. His healthcare work includes the complex renovation of HSHS St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in O’Fallon, Ill., delivered during the pandemic with zero disruption to patient care.
